'This book, comprising almost 300 pages of text and photographs, is a compact and invaluable asset to all Basutoland Postmark Collectors - which will, incidentally, also concern the South African Postmark Collectors as, until 1933, the South African Post Office (and previously the Cape of Good Hope Post Office) was in control.
It not only gives a complete evaluation of all Postmarks, First Day Covers, Souvenir Covers, etc., with illustrations of many of these, all priced on a points system which is universally popular and easily understood, but there is a wealth of Postal History, amusing and interesting anecdotes, original letters etc., together with historical photographs which makes this book fascinating reading to a wide field of readers, besides the pure philatelists.
Aubrey Scott has produced a gem for the Basutoland Collector, with all philatelic details clearly presented and fully illustrated.' - editor's note
