Just bought this off a dealer on ebay it was £12.95 so not overly expensive.
Disappointed though as it doesn't list varieties/errors only latest CV for a standard stamp.
So if you are thinking about buying this be aware it's very basic

Hi Eiger,

I'd suggest SG's Great Britain Concise catalogue instead.

It's more expensive but it has a lot more detail.

The lighter weight and more compact size of "Collect British Stamps" makes it ideal for taking to shows as a checklist, at least for me. I agree that the Concise is a better true reference for the GB specialist, and the higher price can be amortized over many years. I buy one about every 10 years.

Eiger,

I agree with nigelc. I got my Concise on Amazon. Used, but it was for a very good price. Yes, it is informative and helpful.

Thank you all! Yes it is a nice size and I don't need to go to the gym prior to lifting it - I'll look for the concise!

SG's Concise is an excellent catalogue, but for a quick price guide to take to shows or even when browsing ebay I find "British Stamp Market Values" very useful.
The prices are far more realistic than Gibbons and it is comparatively cheap - about $20CDN on Amazon Canada for the 2018 edition.
