"A Concise Catalogue of Postal Cancellation of China (1872-1949)"

Paul Ke-Shing Chang

** Chinese Language Edition **

Published 1995

By the author of the 10 volume History of Postal Cancellation of China (1872-1949)

An essential reference for the serious China collector.

The book is hardbound. 675 pages.

Bought in late 1995, it's in Mint, like-new condition. It's been sitting in my bookcase since it arrived. Since I don't read Chinese, I bought the English translation as soon as it was published in March 1996 and stored this book in my bookcase. I have no idea what it's worth, but my English version has paid for itself over and over.

I don't think it's in print since Google found just one copy for sale (in English) on the web, described as follows:

"Paul Ke-Shing Chang, A Concise Catalogue of Postal Cancellations of China (1872-1949) , 1996, hard-cover, 743 pgs , profusely illustrated.
Chang passed away last year and the current issue of China Clipper (journal of the China Stamp Society [USA]) has a cover article about him. A great academic of China postal history. This book contains a wealth of post marks, registration handstamps and more.
Important all-in-one ‘bible’ from a great expert at just 60 Euro/75 USD/50 GBP plus post."

The listing says Free Shipping, but only because I can't calculate it. Instead, I'm asking that the winning bidder contact me after the auction and tell me how they want it shipped. I'll then add the appropriate cost to the final price.
