The Compulatelist
"If you have an interest in most any aspect of postal history and partic-ularly in the development of postal services in rural areas, you will find this disc of interest. And, if you have a large amount of data that you would like to see published so that it can be shared with other collectors, The Rural Post of Cyprus provides an excellent example of how a high quality publication can be prepared and made available at a minimal cost."
The Cyprus Circular Post
"…Very user-friendly … not even a PC novice would have any problems using it."
"…fills a void that the majority of Cyprus collectors do not realize exists … brings the rural cancellation information right up to date."
"… an excellent, interesting and useful publication that all Cyprus collectors should have…"
Cyprus Philately (in Greek)
"… information old and recent for every village and remote spot on the island, for every postal route with charts, with maps, all come to life with the touch of a button."
"This work with its pioneering format is an excellent 'buy' for every Cyprus rural cancellation collector, for every fan of Cyprus postal history and for every scholar researching the old romantic period or the modern unhappy part of Cyprus history."
