Hi to all
My local bookshop was having a sale and for $5.00 I picked up this hard bound book written by the famous Dr. James Mackay.
A bargain and a very well written reference book.
It was the only copy they had left.(Sorry for cutting of part of the book)
Regards
Horamakhet

I think Dr. Mackay's book is a great comprehensive introduction to most every aspect of stamp collecting. I probably reread it twice a year and always find something striking my interest that I hadn't paid attention to before.

Just a note: 2005 The World Encyclopedia of Stamps and Stamp Collecting that Horamakhet originally posted above was republished in a 2011 paperback by Southwater (Leicestershire, UK) as The Complete Guide to Stamps & Stamp Collecting, but they are otherwise identical editions of the same content.

A good find and at a great price Horamkhet.

Dr. James Mackay is well known in the philatelic field. I too have a few books authored by this man and they are all informative and well illustrated.
