I bought the 2 Volumes used, and there might be a few pages missing, though I have yet to find where Nicaragua is located in the book. I have noticed that when a country is linked to a larger one they are next to each other. Nicaragua isn't in the "N"s so if anyone has insight on where it is and why that would be extremely helpful.

P.S. My pages date to about mid 1960's so if that is part of the reason I may as well tell you.

Nicaragua is after New Zealand. If it isn't there, perhaps it is missing?

I believe up to the mid 60's should be 3 volumes. I would suspect it was sold with countries missing that someone wanted, and then they sold the rest.

When and where did you buy it and is it possible to see the listing if bought from Auction or ebay or let us know what it said?

I bought it from a local stamp store, and I'm pretty sure the person who sold it to him tore out various pages, with Nicaragua being the entirety. Some pages from other countries appear to be missing so I guess I'll just have to deal with it for the time being. The worst part about the books though is that the previous owner had a lot of stamps already in it, but they were all too new. So this meant that in the spaces for certain stamps, he put in completely different stamps from an entirely different time period. This means that I have to go through every stamp and make sure that it is in the proper place. What a pain haha

I'm pretty sure you can buy blank Minkus pages to deal with that problem. Or have a print shop make up a batch of pages in that size. Alternately, you can look on ebay for Minkus pages to fill in the gaps in your album. Sometimes pages for specific countries are listed for sale, usually with stamps on them. That would be the easiest and best looking solution. It might take quite awhile to find them, though. One of the hazards of buying used albums is that sometimes pages are missing, unfortunately.
