stamps printed by recess printing from flat plates. Various printing
techniques are described in the short first part of the volume under

Recess Printing of Stamp and Sheetlets from Flat
Plates, Vol. I, 1945 - 1953 to the Monetary Reform is a very well
produced book, printed on high quality glossy paper under hard covers.
The reproductions are sharp and plentiful. The copies are numbered and
a black print (20 K of the Lazne series) produced by the Czech Post
is included. This study was published by the Society of Collectors of
Czechoslovak Postage Stamps, Union of Czech Philatelists. Though there
is considerable text in certain areas, the visual presentation of the
material makes the study useful even to collectors who do not know Czech.
