To mark its 100th anniversary, the Hellenic Philatelic Society of Athens (HPS) has just published a book, ‘Traces of Communication’, featuring philatelic items from the collections of members and friends of the society. The 272-page, full-color book (24 x 33 cm), in Greek and English, presents 230 carefully selected items. They bear witness, not only philatelically but also historically and sociologically, to communications in Greece over the last 250 years.
