"The Post Offices of British Columbia 1858-1970" by George H. Melvin. The 1972 edition of my favourite philatelic book! In the 189 pages of this hardcover edition it lists every Post Office (up to 1970) and explains where it is and how it got its name, with a list of postmasters as well as opening and closing dates. In addition, there is a large back section with information on Pioneer Airmail Flights, forgeries, handstruck postmarks, Railway and Ship markings, Colonial Post Offices and more. Out of print for some time now, these books are tough to find. This book is numbered #340. A "must have" reference for the BC specialist. Some wear on the spine noted for the record (as this useful book is meant to be used for reference purposes). Estimate
