Bhutan

MILLENIUM 2000 - a space odyssey. FROM SKY TO SPACE.
- L'Odyssée de l'Espace - DU CIEL à l'ESPACE

For that complete set of Bhutan, we have been given freedom to choose from all the stamps subjects. - It is the ideal way to work. Putting the complete set "MILLENIUM 2000" under one title, the specification was that 6 of 7 chosen satellites concerned space history and the other one the future of space. - It was a marvellous adventure for "ESPACE LOLLINI" as publishers.
