FLUORESCENCE IN POSTAGE STAMPS OF ITALY 1944-1994
Second edition

After five years from the first edition, published on the occasion of TELEPHILEX '90 by the Turin section of Cral SIP, the author offers this new edition revised, rectified and completed with new information and findings.

The volume starts from the history of fluorescence in the postage stamps issued by Italian Postal Administration, and then describes technical and theoretical aspects relating to «fluorescence» as a physical phenomenon.

Fluorescence, non-fluorescence, anomalies and curiosities which the author has studied with the help of several collectors are illustrated in a new chapter. 13 colour plates.
