Book released: Feb. 25, 1999

Korean-Side: Information/Press Release Section:
Since the images in the Press Release/Information Section, do not consistently
load for computers operating without a Hangul character-set; I decided to capture them.
As it did for 1997, The Ministry has released a 1998 Korean Stamp Book,
and a 1998 Korean Stamp Booklet; the difference between the two, being
the quantity of philatelic item contents, and the additional relevant stamp
information contained in the "Book"-both Korean & English.
I assume the pictured "flyer/poster", received wide circulation in Korea during
January & February; at least within major postal channels. My interpretation of
major poster contents:
98 Korean Stamp Book:
Release date: '99.2.25'. Philatelic contents:
43 stamps and 7 souvenir sheets issued in 1998. Book release quantity:
20,000. Book cost: 30,000Won.
98 Korean Stamp Booklet:
Release date: '99.3.8'. Philatelic contents:
40 stamps issued in 1998. Booklet release quantity: 20,000.
Booklet cost: 13,000Won.
Sales pitch: "Belongs on your book-self. Buy others for presents."
