For any English-only collector seeking to learn about these early and so often forged issues, this book is a Wow! So descriptive. Dr Ichida humbly understates about his book: "This presentation is not intended to be complete a study but offered as a general guide on the Cherry Issues in which established facts are delineated and set down to be used as a basis for further study. Accordingly this book contains a general explanation of the Cherry Issues, cancellations, the foreign mail system and other pertinent information of the period". Format 7½" x 10½", 190mm x 265mm; hard cover, 337 pages (heavy at 1.3kg); many, many pictures & illustrations.
