DowAlthough three decades have passed since the original publi­cation of Maine Postal History and Postmarks, it remains the definitive work providing a study of Maine postal history from its earliest days with coverage of the early post office during the British administration, the Continental Congress and the federal period. All areas of postmarks (ovals, cross-border, fancy, etc.) are covered in depth with over 200 postmarks illustrated by line drawings and halftones and 19 covers illustrated. The last section contains the list of Maine post offices, over 2100, that have existed, or are supposed to have existed — a list seemingly unavailable elsewhere. Included in this 256-page hardcover volume are reprints of five other articles by Dow, Arthur Hecht, Paul Hannemann, and David L. Jarrett written since the publication of the original work. A new foreword by Joseph F. Antizzo has been added to the Quarterman edition along with photographs of 19 covers not contained in the original work. This work is a necessity for collectors, postal history students, and those interested in Colonial and Maine history.$25.00 (Postpaid)Quarterman Publications, Inc.5 South Union Street Lawrence, Massachusetts 0187843Support the Maine League of Historical Societies and Museums and receiveMAINE HISTORY NEWSMaine’s only publication covering historical developments in the State.Subscriptions through membership onlyDues start at $10.00Payable to:The Maine League of Historical Societies and Museums10 Brann Avenue Lewiston, Maine 04240Just Published:WHALEMEN AND WHALESHIPS OF MAINE by Kenneth R.
