Philatelic Exporter review, courtesy of David Rennie (August 2010):

Another new title in the SG stable, and as well as the three main issuing offices, this also includes the various International Organizations based in Switzerland and UN Forces in various countries, and also the International Court of Justice at The Hague. This also is the only English language one volume catalogue devoted exclusively to these issues.

There is an extensive introductory article by Jean-Louis Emmenegger, "60 (sic) Years of UN Postal History and Philately. This relates the various foundation milestones from the Churchill-Roosevelt meeting in August 1941, the London period, the decision to locate the HQ to Manhattan, and then the issue of the first UN stamps in October 1951. There is a Key Dates summary as well as some useful references.

Then, follows, in the usual SG style, a catalogue of the stamps for the various issuers, including booklets. ;Those for Geneva, Vienna and New York are listed up to February 2010, but only New York and Vienna have Design Indexes.

Full colour throughout the 174 pages, (139 are catalogue pages) in the "Concise" paperback format.
