A book of a collection of stamps which someone appears to have dedicated a lot of time to putting together is now with police, who are aiming to return it to the owner.

Derbyshire police has released images of a unique book containing the stamps in a bid to attempt to reunite it with its rightful owner.

Officers from the force's specialist burglary unit have recovered the book, which they believe may have been stolen.

The book is entitled The Story of Seventy Momentous Years and the owner appears to have dedicated a lot of time to presenting and preserving the collection, said a police spokesman.

Anyone who recognises the book is asked to call DC Jennifer Casey on 101, or send her a message online by visiting the Contact Us section of Derbyshire police's website which is available at www.derbyshire.police.uk/Contact-Us.
