(Review in Picture Postcard Monthly)
· It’s absolutely super … a really comprehensive treatise on these fascinating cards … it will certainly give us many hours of enjoyment …
· In over 15 years of postcard dealing I thought I had seen a few silks but I have only scratched the surface. You are to be congratulated for both the presentation and the clarity as well as the contents … the book will become a well-thumbed addition to my library.
· I'm delighted with the information and illustrations – congratulations on producing something so delightful and informative. So far I have just bought designs that appealed to me, it is so satisfying to know more of the history and development of these cards.
