Rezensionen

"I have not come across a philatelic survey of the history of Earth exploration from space before. For anyone who has ever had a stamp album, or who has admired a postage stamp, this makes the book really special. The stamps are shown full size and in accurate colour reproduction. Well over 1100 stamps are illustrated. ... it is marvellous." (David W. Hughes, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1261), December, 2017)
