This handbook covers the philately of the transition period from the end of the British Mandate over Palestine to the first stamps of the State of Israel. Organization of the Minhelet Ha’am postal service, illustrations of postal markings, stamps and covers, and maps offer an insight into that two week period of Prestatehood history.
