@Renden - I recognise the " Canada Post Offices" from the attachment to the old letter you sent me - so it has already proven to be quite useful! nice find. |

"Whats in your Library?" Not enough, alas... I find obtainability difficult and cost is prohibitive... |

I just purchased a 2005 Classic off ebay and arrived today. After a quick glance, it did not seem to have that much more detail in my interest area - same small pics too. |

Quote:stampcrow, that book looks amazing! Just had a quick look on ebay and am seeing copies almost twice what you paid, with shipping doubling the cost Guess I'll wait. Jamesw, check Amazon or other online book sellers. I'm pretty sure I saw the same book for $25.00 and free shipping... |

You have far more catalogs than all my philatelic literature.....  I do need to arrange for some dedicated shelving though. |

I'm reading the Short History now. Nice book. Learning some things. Just finished the section, "The Railway Post Office System". In that chapter I learned D.P.O. refers to Distribution Post Office not just Dead Post Office.  |

I purchased some 2016/2017 Scott catalogue page pulls for specific countries. I put them in protective pages. I still do not understand how Scott derives these prices. You do not find many dealers who maintain a complete price list (printed or online). You know that many dealers have no clue because they set their price at the Scott price.
