and the story itself is quite exciting. All people who love (or
loathe) stamp collecting are honestly advised to read the racy story of Miss Betty Scott." The Liverpool Mercury: "The enthusiasm of Philatelists in their favourite pursuit is well illustrated in this capital story. It possesses many merits, the interest being sustained throughout. The translation is admirable, scarcely a trace is to be seen of French idiom, while the rendering into American vernacular is particularly clever and satisfactory." The Court Circular: "A very great amount of interest is taken in stamp collecting, and a book pleasantly dealing with the stamp hobby, such as the one before us, will be sure to find a wide circle of readers." The Lady's Pictorial: "This curious story is unique, for never before or since its publication has the stamp-collecting hobby been turned to account as the central idea of a really interesting romance and love story." Gentlewoman: "The story is full of exciting incidents." _Half bound in Art Buckram, cloth sides, gilt lettering, plain edges, 200 pages, 80 fine illustrations. Price 6/-; post-free, 6/4; abroad, 6/8._ The Stamp Collector. |
