1978 "Fantasy" Booklet produced as a promotional item for the publication of the Len Deighton spy novel "SS-GB"; a rare and complete example, with all three panes intact.Len Deighton's publishers, Jonathan Cape, released the booklet and a picture postcard designed by Ray Hawkey. The "stamps" show a familiar right-side view of Hitler lifted from the German stamp issue of April 1938 for Hitler's 49th birthday, with "SS" and "GB" in the upper corners and "Postage Revenue" along the bottom edge. Denominations were ½d, 22, and 2½d. The "stamps" were printed in panes of six (3x2) and enclosed in a booklet containing one pane of each. The British Post Office quickly confiscated all the booklets they could locate. (Image)
