Thanks stamporator

My first thought was "I don't need another book" (over the years my wife has made me do a few book purges). To my delight this link is to a fantastic pdf file.

I know what you mean Cynical.

I am in the process is re-cycling literally 1000s of pages with stamp and postal history articles from a variety of stamp newspapers and magazines. Some of the old articles dated back to the mid 1960s! There were even a few dating back to the war I had found some time ago.

It is a long process, but it is dwindling down. I have put a smaller pile to one side and plan to scan them in and keep them in my computer files. These will be more specialized and mostly postal history.

Canadian perfins are a specialty of mine, so, this pdf really helps.

Bujutsu: 2 years ago I threw out a couple of decades of the Canadian Stamp News that at the time were even decades old. I have regretted it ever since. I wish now that I had gone through them and cut out articles that interested me but alas I didn't do it. I also had decades of auction catalogues that I purged. Their stamp descriptions were an education in themselves.

with todays technology, I scan that stuff before it is sent to the recyclig bin. This way I can keep hundred of those old CSN on a single USB key. All I need to do now is to find a way to catalogue for easy retrieving

A lot of the articles I am recycling are being scanned and filed on my computer. The articles I am not too concerned about are those that are not within my collecting areas.

There are some articles I am keeping even if they are not my area simply because they are very informative and some have great old illustrations.
