Amos Publishing has announced that the 2015 Scott Specialized Catalog of US Stamps and Covers is now available for purchase at this link:

I'm waiting for them to add offline access and pinch and zoom to the digital catalogue and I will consider this.

I have the 2013 Scott Specialized and a 2011 USPS Guide so I think I'm good to go for another couple years. Especially since I cut my U.S. off at the year 2000.

The print edition has been available for well over a week. Unfortunately no sign of the E-book edition.

The print edition can be obtained for less than what Amos is asking ($89.99 + shipping). Eric Jackson is offering it for $85 shipped.

Amos Advantage usually offers free shipping in December for catalog. I found the 2014 catalog very helpful - and the 2015 seems to promise the same, especially on the Liberty definitive series as well as other major & minor Scott numbers.

Looks like the online catalogue will be $74.99 and is coming out sometime this month.

Still rather have a PDF, like MICHEL is doing...

I've got to ask... If one purchases a Scott Catalogue on line for the $74.99 does that continue as the viewed version (from cloud-server what ever) or will it be updated in subsequent years (it is a data base I assume used for the print edition) or will one need to again purchase the updated version for another $75????

I doubt it will be updated after one year. I would assume it would be updated during the Oct 2014- Sept 2015 year but not afterwards based upon their past habits. The question one should seek is will the updates for those years following the 2015 year will discounted for those who have purchased the base year? Also, will you have access to files after the 2015 year?

I can almost guarantee you that, just like the print Catalogue, you'll need to buy new copies every year.

For more info on 2015 Scott catalog see YouTube today by editor Charles Snee explaining some highlights.

I watched the video. They have updated the values of footnoted imperfs. If you're going to track the value of a stamp and list it in your catalog, give it damn number already. If you're not going to assign a number to a stamp, and just plan to footnote it, it should just say that the variety is known to exist and end there. By not giving these stamps numbers, you're making the catalog less valuable. I believe SG and MICHEL have both assigned catalog numbers to these stamps.
