The tiny world-within-a-world of postage stamps evokes the lost land of
childhood in

"Postmark Paris", a delicate combination of narrative reminiscences and
exquisitely diminutive images.

The story of a ten-year-old girl's stay in France is interwoven with the
stamps she collected there,

creating a lyrical memoir of the funny and engaging discoveries a curious
child

makes in a grown-up worldc

Contrary to how the book reads, I have noticed curious behaviours at stamp
auctions,
If the stamp resides in a Hagner. and is medium to expensively priced, then
tongs
are very much in evidence.
If however the stamp resides in a Chinese stock book, then somehow this
gives
viewers the licence to tuck in with greasy dirty fingers.

If one has been collecting and auction viewing for some years, the badge of
honour
for these members, is noticed by the casual offhand way the book or page is
handled,
if nothing in the contents meets the marque of the viewer, then the book is
tossed back into the box in
a very offhand manner, discharged in a very demeening fashion, creasing the
glassine
pages and goodness knows what with the stamps.
These very self centred and pompous asses have to show the adjacent plebs
just how experienced they are, and who are not to be messed with.
I must call a stop here, or I may get started on the very irritating
"auction jostle"
