In celebration of its centenary, the Hellenic Philatelic Society (HPS) has released a publication showcasing its longstanding contributions to philately and culture. The publication highlights the richness of philately and its profound connections to history, sociology, the arts, and communication, as reflected in philatelic items. The Society aims to provide both the philatelic community and the general public with a book of exceptional quality in both content and aesthetics.
The 100th Anniversary Edition features philatelic items from the collections of HPS members and friends, all of which are, in some way, related to Greece. The 230 carefully selected and diverse items hold broad social interest, making them appealing to a wide audience. These items offer a unique perspective on philately and are organised into the following sections: Headlines, Artists and Works of Art, Symbolisms and Transformations, Emotions, Personalities, Friends and Enemies, Revolutions and Campaigns, Resistance, Exile and Captivity, Propaganda, Communities, Landmarks, Commerce and Money, Postal Matters, Oddities.
This 272-page bilingual book (in Greek and English) features four-colour offset printing, dimensions 24×33 cm, sewn binding, and a hardcover with a four-colour dust jacket.

Italia e Iberia: La posta fra gli Stati delle due penisole 1814–1876, translated into English as Italy and Iberia: Postal Relations Between the States of the Two Peninsulas 1814–1876, published by UNIFICATO in collaboration with AIFSP, is a book written by Lorenzo Carra. This bilingual publication (Italian and English) examines the postal connections of Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, and the Spanish and Portuguese territories with all the former Italian states: Sardinia (and later Italy), Lombardy-Venetia, Trentino-Alto Adige and Trieste, Modena, Parma, Tuscany, the Papal States, Naples, and Sicily, from 1814 to 1876.
For each postal relationship, the author analyses the rates, postmarks, and routes in both directions through an extensive study of postal conventions and the examination of postal documents. Numerous letters are reproduced and meticulously described. The accompanying resources are comprehensive and highly useful: an index of postal conventions, an index of names and places, an index of postmarks, signs, and postal markings, and an extensive bibliography.
The 320-page, A4-format, hardcover book is available from Unificato at €80,-
