Round the World with a Postage Stamp is a charming and instructive educational booklet produced by UNESCO, designed to introduce teachers and children to the remarkable history and function of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) — the international organisation that has united the world's postal systems since its founding in 1874.\n\nDrawing on the postage stamp as a vivid and tangible symbol of global communication, the booklet presents the story of how nations collaborate to ensure that a letter, parcel, or message can travel seamlessly across borders and continents. UNESCO's characteristic clarity of purpose shines through in this accessible resource, which argues that even the smallest everyday object can illuminate the grand architecture of international cooperation. A rare and delightful artefact of mid-20th-century educational publishing, it leaves the reader wondering just how far a single stamp can truly travel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161012871387,"sku":"2026200014049-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3785c42d-3662-43fb-92dd-36d4db7d47a3.png?v=1787189006","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014049-secondhand-round-the-world-with-a-postage-stamp-a-booklet-for-teachers-and-children-about-the-universal-postal-union","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
