If you ordered early you should get one shortly. There was a delay at the printers in China. I have heard that the early orders have caused a near sell out and there are no plans for a second printing. |

Unitrade is a distributor, if you not a reseller with a real business you will pay full catalogue price, if ever they want to sell to you. Resellers will give you a discount. |

Thanks area66. So Unitrade is a wholesaler to resellers with a resale tax number.

I just got my 2016 Unitrade a few days ago in the mail. Some of the newer findings on earlier stamps are pictured, some varieties newly listed and some items without prices previously are now priced. I found that the Pence and Large Queen issue have some nice updates. I haven't looked much further yet in detail.
Couple of Examples of Newly listed
Scott 13ii, 2TCxv - burr on forehead variety 24viii - spur to left of outer frameline |

I got the 2016 catalogue yesterday and I am happy with my purchase. I usually don't get a new catalogue on its year of issue. However, I got one this year because some dealers give special deals on them and they have been selling out. Interestingly, the recalled dinosaur park issue variety with the badlands is listed in the catalogue at the end of the regular issues. |

Check that, mine arrived today. My partner had set it aside (it came while I was at work but before he left for work) and he just brought the package to me.
It is GORGEOUS. Heavy paper stock, full color, pages have shading on edge to indicate time period or section of catalog. Just a beautiful book, can't wait to start organizing my Canadian collection now! |

It is one the more affordable and reasonably priced specialized country catalogues. The combination of its popularity with Canadian stamp collectors, its printing overseas, the quantity printed and the many advertisers advertising in it probably helps with its pricing. |

So the obvious question -- not yet answered is -- WHO has the best price on the 2016 Catalogue?
Mine is a few years old and I'm ready for a new one; and right now the exchange rate is in my favor. |

The $12 shipping somewhat removes the "best price" available. I have not yet seen any offered at stamp clubs but I am willing to bet that a club 'member dealer' will sell in the $35 range with no shipping. This is yet another good reason for joining a local stamp club! |
