For those who follow Myanmar philatelic literature, you may recall a Burmese-language book published in 2018 titled Postage Stamps of Myanmar. Written by U Kyaw Myint Maung and published by U Thiha Lwin (TMH), the book has been a valuable resource for collectors.
Now, in an exciting development, the book has been translated into English by Daw Mra Hnin Si, with the English edition officially released in October 2024.
