This beautiful compendium of classic Ukrainian postcards
can best be described in one word - staggering. I use this
term for several reasons.
The book has over 500 pages and shows pictures of 8,000 Ukraine
postcards depicting the history of Ukraine. One hundred pages
are in color. A majority of the postcards were published prior
to 1918.
