🇺🇸 Nick Kirke won the Crawford Medal this year for his publication - “New York City Foreign Mail”. The two volume work plus supplement retails at $125 but shipping to the UK can be almost as much. So grab your copy on Stephen Taylor’s Stand T4. While very limited stocks last. Learn more about Nick’s passion in this interview: collectorsclub.substack.com/…
