Description from the seller
Complete collection of 12 volumes of The Great Philatelic Collections: Egypt, one of the most important and exhaustive reference works and study catalogs on the postal history and philately of Egypt, edited by Joseph H. Chalhoub and originally published by the prestigious auction house David Feldman SA, Geneva. 75 books of each volume were printed for worldwide distribution. New and unopened in perfect condition. It also comes with a plus volume dedicated to stamps of the Suez Canal. A work of equally high standard of reference of which only 250 copies were printed for the whole world.
Each of the volumes is dedicated to a specialized aspect or period of Egyptian stamps and mail: a limit of 75 books was printed for each volume, hence its rarity. This collection is kept in PERFECT CONDITION, NEVER OPENED OR USED.
