Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. h/b 171 pages, condition is very good, Signed inscription to the title page. Scotland's unequalled roll-call of prominent inventors and explorers, engineers and doctors, soldiers and statesmen, has attracted many an author in the past. Other Men's Heroes is unique, however, in its selection of Great Scots and in its illustrations. It tells the stories of the Scots who have been honoured outside their own country on the postage stamps of other nations, presented with full-colour reproductions from a superb portfolio of stamps from-more than 60 countries, depicting nearly 50 different Scots. The chapters of the book group the biographies under such headings as Explorers, Administrators, Royal Scots - including the Stuarts and the present Queen Mother - and Doctors; and Scotland's literary heritage is underlined by the inclusion of the men who gave the world Long John Silver, Dangerous Dan McGrew, Sherlock Holmes, DrJekyll and Tam O'Shanter. This is a book about other nations' acknowledgements of the contribution made to the world community by a varied collection of Scots, with the stamps providing a delightful - accompaniment as colourful as the characters themselves.
