Here is more information on the colour guides as obtained from ( http://www.weeda.com/news/Newsletter.aspx?ID=348 ):

Here is some important additional information from J. A. (Jack) Forbes, FRPSC

Thanks for the comprehensive listing of publications related to the Canadian Small Queens issues as provided in the latest newsletter. This is a valuable reference tool for collectors of that period. A couple of comments:

1) Despite the notation in the description of the BNAPS publication of my exhibit on the blocks of this era, we did end up having a second edition. Demand for the initial printing was so strong and swift that it sold out in a few days, with many back orders to fill. As noted in the description, the printing process for the first edition was very complicated, and required significant effort to try to replicate, as closely as possible, the actual shades. Because of those complexities, the second edition had to be produced using copies of the pages in the first edition rather than from the actual exhibit pages, and although the representations are surprisingly good, they do vary somewhat from those in the first printing.

2) A few years ago, Richard Morris expressed the desire to cease producing the Colour Guides for Canadian material. Recognizing the enduring importance of the Guides, I thought it would be a shame to lose all the research and effort that Richard had put into these publications so my wife and I agreed to purchase the rights to those hand books. We still provide both the Large/Small Queens edition, as well as the one for the Admiral issues. These are available from a couple of dealers in Canada. If anyone needs information on obtaining either or both of these, they could contact me at: jafrbs@aol.com.

Best regards,

J. A. (Jack) Forbes, FRPSC

Just bought from Weeda Stamps a copy of Richard Morris Colour Guides for the Small Queens of Canada, on auction ( ebay), after contacting both the RPSC who referred me to Saskatoon Stamp Centre who referred me to Weeda Stamps.
Thanks for the link, jogil and your comments.
Sorry for the repetition-like content in another Post ! (Unitrade 2017)
