I would like to offer all interested readers of this forum a free digital PDF copy of my 5,792 page handbook. Issued last year, it celebrated 185 years of the postage stamp and is the culmination of decades of collecting and research into technical aspects of stamp production and dummy stamps.
The handbook promotes the collecting and dissemination of information about an important aspect of stamps, namely how they are made and the printers involved in their production.
It has won three Large Gold medals, including at Boston 2026 this week, and has been nominated and short-listed for the Royal Philatelic Society's Crawford Medal next month. Every member library of the Global Philatelic Library has been offered a digital copy.
Section 1: British Stamp Printers 1,508 pages, 965mb Section 2: Foreign Stamp Printers 2,392 pages, 1.37gb Section 3: A Stamp is Made 1,132 pages, 513mb Section 4: Dummy Stamps of GB 760 pages, 84mb

I've been dipping into the book for about a week, reading a few paragraphs here and there, and I find it absolutely fascinating. I expect to enjoy looking things up in it for years and years to come. It's a magnificent work of scholarship, but not at all intimidating for beginners, and it's FREE. Mr Glenn H Morgan is my hero.
