Many years back, stamp collecting was an extra-curricular activity of school kids around the world. Modern technology was thought to have killed this hobby due to the decrease in the usage and demand of postage stamps. Out of surprise, this turned out to be untrue. Out of 60 million stamp collectors around the world, one third come from China. Wealthy Chinese are now beginning to buy back their heritage on a massive scale. Investors are laughing their way to the bank with significant gains on their China stamp portfolio. This 268-page book, fully illustrated with pictures, reveals everything you need to know about China stamps and how to build a solid collection for potential future liquidation.
Includes "Index to philatelic literature."
