Fernando Iglesias, miembro de la Real Academia Hispánica de Filatelia e Historia postal hace unos años nos ofreció en forma de libro el fruto de años de investigación. Magistralmente lista y resume la que es hasta el momento la guía mas completa de marcas postales de historia postal colonial cubana. Adicionamos el comentario que de ella se publicó en la revista de la Sociedad Filatélica Cubana de América. Les adicionamos al final un pdf de algunas de las páginas para que puedan tener una idea de la publicación.
