The New Hebrides

"The Postage Stamps and Postal History of the New Hebrides: 1853-1957" by Martin Treadwell and Roland Klinger is a well balanced, nicely researched, and somewhat astounding site on the philately of these islands. Treadwell's focus is the islands' postal history ,and Klinger's is on the stamps. A typical entry shows the enlarged stamp along with catalog numbers from four publishers, known print quantities, and then appropriate annotations. The postal history displayed is rich and varied with detailed write-ups. I wish every country had a site like this! Imagine how easy it would be to collect!
