The Englishman Who Posted Himself and Other Curious Objects by John Tingley

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

In 1898, W. Reginald Bray (1879-1939) began to study the British postal authorities' regulations. He discovered that the smallest living creature one could post was a bee, and the largest was an elephant. Intrigued, he experiments by sending ordinary and strange objects through the post unwrapped. By the time Bray died in 1939, he had sent out more than 32,000 postal curios and autograph requests.
