An Illustrated Introduction to the History, Mails, and Stamps of Morocco

Then there was Morocco. Joel Ruimy offers an entertaining and knowledgeable look at what he calls the "chaotic charms" of the first century of Morocco's mails, and the involvement of four European countries and 21 private mail services in offering mail service before the government of Morocco itself finally got into the act.
