Heavily illustrated with mailboxes from the Canadian Postal Museum's extensive collection, this book illustrates the evolution of this most modern of pieces of urban street furniture, from the early cast-iron pillar boxes inspired by British models to fiberglass mailboxes and contemporary high-tech models."--Jacket |
