Blue Mauritius: The Hunt for the World’s Most Valuable Stamps $14.8 Follow the adventures of the world’s most sought-after postage stamps–from a tropical Indian Ocean island to the hushed atmosphere of the modern auction room–in this dramatic and passionate tale of the first stamp hunters. In September 1847 colored squares of paper were stuck on to envelopes and used to send out admission cards to a fancy-dress ball on the tropical island of Mauritius. No one at the party would have guessed that these stamps would one day be worth more than a million dollars. When a two-pence "Blue Mauritius" surfaced on the fledgling French stamp-collecting market in 1865 it gained instant celebrity. Soldiers, schoolboys, and the entire German nation became obsessed with finding one of these extremely rare examples. When in 1903 a perfect specimen, discovered in a childhood album, was bought at auction by the Prince of Wales, the Blue Mauritius gained superstar status. Even now, "Post Office Mauritius" stamps are synonymous with fame, wealth, and mystery. The most coveted scraps of paper in existence, this is their story–from their birth during days of sail, taking them from Port Louis to Bordeaux, India and Great Britain, Switzerland and Japan, into the hearts and imagination of collectors everywhere. |

The World in Stamps $33.85 Stamps aren’t just a part of history. They also provide a fascinating means to understand history. Through stamps one can chronicle the making of the modern world-and compare the diverse ways that different cultures represent the same events. In the highly original "History of the World in Stamps," philatelist Laurent Lemerle has gathered more than 3,500 stamps-including a substantial number from the U.S.-and organized them thematically to showcase not only their beauty, but also their role as valuable documents of world history. Enthusiasts of all ages will discover a new way of looking at subjects like "The Wonders of Nature" and "The Space Conquest," as well as the pleasure of discovering many rare pieces that will, perhaps, inspire them in their own collecting. |

You Are Valuable $14.99 “Do you know that your fingerprints distinguish you from every other human being, including your own blood brothers and sisters? You are not the product of some evolution theory. Neither are you the product of some illicit sexual act. NO That’s a big lie Today a lot of people have no sense of personal worth. Countless individuals are suffering with poor self-esteem. A lot of people have lost their identity. They don’t know who they really are. The joy, beauty, and peace of life has been sucked out of them. This is one of the major problems affecting people all over the world including Christians. The truth of the matter is your identity falls back on God who created you in His own image and likeness. Not on your feelings and the circumstances surrounding you. In this book, Prince Julius reveals that feelings of worthlessness is not a condition that you should be struggling with. As far as God is concerned, you are uniquely and wonderfully made. You are special and very valuable Prince Julius believes “The way you see it, is the way it is for you. No one can change your feelings, only you can.” So learn how you can go about changing your self-image and see yourself as the person God loves very much. And begin to celebrate your most beautiful life now Prince Julius teaches and preaches God’s Word with simplicity and understanding. He has been in active ministry for quite some years now. Together with his wife Joy, they are the pastors/ founders of City Changers Church. They also are co-founders of the foundation called Fountain of Joy and the Eagles Bible School. Eagles Bible School equips people to become all that God wants them to be. God has blessed them with three great, healthy children – Joshua, Michael, and Angel.” |
