TNCP 45 Dispatched to Members

The 45th issue of The New CartoPhilatelist has been dispatched to members.  All hard copy members will again be receiving their journals shipped via HP’s MagCloud PoD service.  We have decided to continue using MagCloud for both hard copy printing and distribution.   The 45th issue is full of fascinating articles, news, and images.  Be sure to check out the contents of this exciting issue.  Some highlights in this issue are the start of a very interesting issue about the Historic Canadian Forts issues of the 1980’s and 1990’s, by James C. Hamilton.  Ap Koopman reports on Surtsey – Iceland’s youngest island and its depiction on a new stamp issue from 2013.  President Emeritus Miklos Pinther sends us a book review of Simon Garfield’s “On the Map” and also introduces us to the “Highway Post office” a very unique bit of history of the US Postal Service which operated from 1941 until 1974.  Phil Coop introduces us to state revenue stamps from the USA with maps and a new catalog of the State Revenue Society.  Ann Kiang Kee sends us a note about Bosnia-Herzegovina and the 20 page issue wraps up with Society News by President Mark Honig, and New Issues and MoS Checklist updates by David Wolfersberger.
