A first class stamp remains one of the greatest bargains of all time, and yet, the USPS is slowly vanishing. Critics say it is slow and archaic. Mail volume is down. The workforce is shrinking. Post offices are closing.This is a multifaceted history, full of remarkable characters, from the stamp-collecting FDR, to the revolutionaries who challenged USPSs monopoly on mail, to the renegade union members who brought the system--and the country--to a halt in the 1970s. An exciting and engrossing read, this is the first major history of the USPS in over fifty years.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 383.4973 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 383.4973 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 383.4973 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 383.4973 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
