From various notes/reviews found online:

book by Stavros Andreadis, LARGE HERMES HEADS – PRINTING AND SHADES. This book is above all a color chart with a very large number of high-definition photographs (1,144) of the different shades of color of all the issues of the large Greek Hermes head, but without any further description…


The 160-page book is larger than the usual A4 format, at 26×36 cm, it is hard-bound and gold print on a linen-wrap cover, bilingual (Greek and English)

Stavros Andreadis' primary aim with this book is to help collectors recognize the different shades of stamps with the large Hermes head and to classify them by issue according to the classification updated by AIEP expert Michael Tseriotis and used in the Hellas catalogue published by the Karamitsos company of Thessaloniki since the beginning of the century.
The large-format book (26 cm X 36 cm) is printed on high-quality 150-gram paper (Garda Pat Kiara).
