The Post Office Project Book

This book is part of a series containing a combination of information, facts and fun activities. It tells the story of the postal service - from the days of the Penny Post to the ultra-modern system which handles over 30 million letters every day. The reader can follow a postman on his rounds, find out when stamps and post-boxes were first invented, discover the secret "mail rail" that travels underground and see how letters and parcels are sorted. A list of useful addresses is included.
