Indian Postal Guide 1869Stamps of India Reprint, 2004, € 50
Stamps of India has launched its publication program by reprinting Indian Postal Guide Containing the Chief Public Regulations of the Post Office with Other Information April 1, 1869. This is first in the series of elusive but significant official publications that are primary resources for history of postal communications in India.

Its content include: Chief Officers of the Department, Exclusive Privilege of Indian Post Office, Inland Post, Postage stamps, List of Indian Post Offices, District Post, Foreign Post, Official Correspondence, Registration, Time Tables of Mail steamers, Government Bullock Train, Passenger Service, Money Orders, and Telegraph Department. 236 page hardbound reprint is a facsimile enlarged from original octavo to A4 size.
