description: An illustrated collection of twenty tales of suspense, adventure, and history. Bringing together education and entertainment, each story is followed by a well researched discussion on the historical, cultural, or philatelic items in the story. There are also 5 non-fictional essays the author calls Engimas, mysteries of the real world dealing with subjects as diverse as symbols that speak to us from the past nearly unimaginable events in history and, in the case of the stamps in The Philatelic Hall of Shame, the seemingly quixotic process of selecting what goes into the stamp image. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title
