The stamps attached commemorate the Croatian writer Josip Kozarac (1858-1906) and the city of Cavtat.

Cover from Croatia, posted in Zagreb on November 3, 2008.

It is a cover from “Svijet Knjige”, which is a Croatian book seller and club. The two stamps are of the “Europa” issue.

I somehow like the idea of re-using covers; there can be made interesting combinations, as one can see in this example.

Thank you, Željko, for this nice cover!
