Description

OMAN—Official Guide—POSTAL HISTORY 1856-1985—Gently Used
This is a gently used copy, first edition, of Oman Post's official guide,
The Postal History of Oman 1856-1985
, authorized by Ahmad bin Suwaidan Al-Balushi, Minister of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones. It was released to mark Oman's 15th National Day and the 130th anniversary of the inception of its postal services. Bilingual in Arabic and English, it contains about 200 full-color richly illustrated pages jam-packed with data and cultural history.  Scans show typical page layout and content.
This authoritative reference book is divided into 4 sections: Postal history under (1) Indian, (2) Pakistani, and (3) British administrations, (4) with most of its pages devoted to issue-by-issue details of all stamps produced by the independent Oman Post administration since 1966. There is also a complete illustrated listing of stamps issued by Zanzibar while under Oman's control, plus notes about Oman's activity in Gwadur (Pakistan), postmarks, and aerogrammes.
NOTE: Because of the weight and bulk of this lot, it must be shipped with protective wrappings and (with
a Customs declaration
for international sales), shipping cost will be within the United States, or to any international address.

ATTENTION ALL BIDDERS AND BUYERS!
1)
Wait for my invoice
before you send payment to ensure prompt, accurate shipping. Shipping costs vary (see below), and I will always combine shipping of multiple lots to save you money. I pack all items carefully and securely.
Unless previous arrangements are made by the buyer, l
ots will be held only for 7 days, after which they may be relisted or ended, and the buyer will be reported to eBay as "No Pay."
2)
Please use Paypal
to send payments. It's quicker and easier for both of us. For customers who do not have access to Paypal, U.S. dollars by registered mail is acceptable. Ask questions about payment
before
you place a bid, please.

Shipping information
—Recent U.S. Postal Service changes force me to charge higher shipping fees. For a few stamps sent in a standard envelope, the flat charge will be .00 for delivery to a U.S. destination, or .00 to an international address. For souvenir sheets, thick or heavy items that require larger envelopes or stiff or thick padding, the cost will vary—from .00 for U.S. delivery, or .00 or more for international delivery, depending on weight and size.
4)
Postal Registration cost
of .95 will be added to any international order of 0.00 or more. For lesser amounts, please tell me if you want your shipment registered, and the cost will be added to your order.
5)
Import duties, taxes, and charges
,
if any, are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs might be prior to bidding or buying. I will not undervalue merchandise or mark items as “gift” or “documents” or “photos” on customs forms. Please understand that these are international legal requirements.
6)
Return policy
—Unless an item is described "as is," returns may be accepted within 14 days. Advise me immediately after you receive the item. Please note that returns are accepted ONLY for items that are defective or described incorrectly. Stamps are not sent "on approval." I am very careful in describing each lot, and have a very high rating for customer satisfaction. Please check my feedback history. Bid with confidence!
