Post Office Special Presentation Books. Two deep red leather grain hardcover limited edition Canada Post presentation books, both from the early 1960s. Both books (unlisted in either Unitrade or the old Darnell) contain mint blocks of four of various commemorative and definitive issues from the late 1950s to early 1960s. One of the books is inscribed "SOME CANADIAN POSTAGE STAMPS" and has a gilt Canadian coat of arms on the cover, the other book is inscribed "XVTH CONGRESS OF THE UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION / XVe CONGRES DE L'UNION POSTALE UNIVERSELLE", again with a gilt Canadian coat of arms. The UPU book contains more pages and stamps. A scarce presentation duo. Estimate
