Exploring Iceland Through Its STAMPS
A storehouse of fascinating information on Iceland and its stamps - a must for all collectors. This 206-page volume, lavishly illustrated with stamps, cancellations and various collectors' covers, approaches Iceland's stamps in the context of the nation and its people. Separate chapters are devoted to themes like ships, landscape and birds, and the story of independence campaigner Jón Sigurdsson on stamps is recounted.
The author also deals with the development of cancellations and how they have changed over the years. The book includes a map of Iceland showing 19th century place names found on cancellations - including many now obsolete. The author, Don Brandt, draws on a wealth of philatelic knowledge accumulated during his fifty-plus years as a stamp collector. In his introduction to the book, Brandt describes his aim as writing "about something more than just the stamps of Iceland: What is depicted on their surface and what lies beneath, mixed in unequal parts with general information for collectors. It is intended for those interested in both Iceland and its postage stamps."

Iceland - The Republic.
There is, in this age of expanding international communication, special cause to disseminate knowledge of one's land and nation to the widest possible audience. The appearance of this remarkable book is a crucial step in reaching this global audience.
The book is a comprehensive gold mine of learning and data on Icelandic society, and its history and multi-faceted development, with emphasis placed on the fifty-two years that have passed since the establishment of the Republic of Iceland in 1944. A wealth of colour photographs, maps and graphs adorn the book and clarify its informative content. The book also contains an all-embracing statistical supplement, a list of all the country's major institutions and companies, an index and a bibliography of books in various languages which deal with Iceland.
ICELAND - The Republic is an invaluable body of information on all things connected with modern Iceland, a book that even Icelanders will find of great use.
