Author Joël Tête, a philatelist from region XIII, presents the book he has just produced: “La variété POSTFS of 20c. Empire, imperforated Type I”. This publication significantly increases the number of states, as well as visuals of annexed faults, classified by theme, allowing reference to the boxes concerned for variety.This work offers an approach to quotation by index.

Since the 1960s, when Dr. Jacques FROMAIGEAT planted this variety in his book “Les constances du 20c Napoléon, non dentelé type I.”, no study focusing on this variety has been published to date. The aim of this book is to fill this gap by taking a more in-depth look at the different states of each square.

Thanks to the possibilities offered by information technology, it is a powerful tool for locating philatelic items, offering philatelists a more detailed approach to quotation than general catalogs.
