Group of official announcments for their stamps, souvenir sheets, first day covers & maximum cards for the period March 1986 - April 1990.

By our reckonnng these are nearly complete for the period--one 1987 & one 1991 seem to be missing. Size is 6"x8" so they could easily be mounted in albums. Authoritative information & quality illustrations throughout. Example shows 2 of the 4-page announcement of the 29 mars 1988 issue. All for $15.00 l-l
