POSTAGE STAMP TO MARK WORLD BOOK AND COPYRIGHT DAY


VATICAN CITY, 19 MAY 2009 (VIS) - Tomorrow, 20 May, the Vatican Publishing House will issue a postage stamp (of the value of 60 euro cents), and the corresponding postmark, to celebrate World Book and Copyright Day. The postage stamp shows a sketch by Maria Carmela Perrini depicting the "Codex Vaticanus".

As part of the same initiative, the first edition of a bimonthly magazine entitled "Editoria Vaticana", also published by the Vatican Publishing House, will likewise be presented tomorrow, as will the results of a survey into the books most read by priests, in collaboration with the "Rogate" magazine for priestly vocations.
