The book covers postage rates and fees used in Finland from July 1, 1875 when the UPU agreement was taken into use until the end of 2001, when the markka was replaced with euro. It is the most comprehensive book about Finnish postage rates ever, showing over 10,000 single rates in more than 100 different categories. Much of the information has not been published before.
