Summary

Special Delivery : Canada's Postal Heritage

This sumptuously illustrated book recreates the excitement of "mail call, " from the days when mail arrived in New France once a year to today, when parcel post delivers the treasures we've ordered by e-mail. More than 200 richly coloured photographs display choice Canadian Postal Museum artifacts. Archival photos show all aspects of sending, processing, and receiving mail in the past, and modern photos show the satellite-monitored jets and trucks that move today's huge volume of mail.
