I wanted to share this copy of vol 1, March 1888 Specimen Copy that I acquired of the "Canadian Philatelist". One SPECIMEN COPY only was given to new members. B.J. Bishop was both a stamp collector and a collector of literature. In an 1895 issue of the "Home Worker", he stated that he was trading his extensive collection of literature for stamps. You can find his ad on the second page of this issue.

Thanks for posting Steve.
Thoroughly enjoyed the commentary on Montenegro.

Surprised at $5 for a full page advert in 1888 !

Steve,
If you have all the pages I would love to post the entire publication in the Stamp Smarter library. If interested, send me a message.

These are all the pages. I believe it was a catalogue within a catalogue. This is a specimen copy that only new subscribers would get. Hence, the four pages. I have only seen this posted at one other location. You are free to post what I have uploaded. I did have it posted on my website for sale, but have since hidden it as it difficult to determine a value for it.
