British And Channel Islands Booklets

According to this site, the GB booklet is F1a and not F1b

F1a: "May 195" for "May 1953"
F1b: "May 19" for "May 1953"

I have a 1998 SG Specialised Vol 3 and a 2011 SG Specialised Vol 2. Both list only F1b with "MAY 195". I cannot rule out that the "MAY 19" was discovered after 2010-2011 and the listing was adjusted. BB Stamps tends to follow the SG Specialised listing.

As for your Jersey stamp books. It might have been a good idea to have started a new thread n these, as there is no relation to the original post and Jersey is a completely different stamp issuing entity from the UK.

Two books coincided with the 1976 – 1980 Jersey 'Views and Arms' definitives. The stamps were printed by Questa.
£ 1.20 PO Headquarters, Stanley Gibbons (SG) B20, 1 OCT 1979, Jersey Post Office headquarters, Mont Millais St. Helier (Shows the flag of Jersey and a map of the English Channel on the back
£ 1.40 St. Helier Parish arms, SG B30, 6 MAY 1980, Arms of St. Helier Parish.

The other bookls coincided with the ensuing 1981 – 1988 Jersey 'Coats-of-Arms' definitives depicting the coats-of-arms of Jersey noble families.
£ 1.32 De Bagot, SG B31, 24 FEB 1981, Crest of the De Bagot family.
£ 1.20 Poigndestre, SG B32, 1 DEC 1981, Poigndestre family arms.
£ 1.32 Bisson, SG B34, 19 APR 1983, Crest of the Bisson family.
£ 2.16 Robin, SG B35, 27 APR 1984, Crest of the Robin family.

There are further books in the 'Coats-of-Arms' series. Booklet B33 (1982) was a prestige stamp book dedicated to Jean Martell, founder of the Martell cognac distillery. He was born (1694) in the parish of St. Brelade on Jersey.

I have a very old catalogue. Think about a catalogue price of three to four times the face value of the stamps.

I never know when to start a new thread and when to avoid flooding the forums.
If I could add Jersey to the title it would have been helpful for future searches.
In this thread, most SCF members lost interest, so I thought no one would mind.

I would not mistake a lack of response for a lack of interest.
It is a somewhat specialised subject few people will venture into. That does not mean no one is curious about the subject.

I would always start a new thread if the title does not cover the subject. Although it does not say "Great Britain" but "British" you might argue the title applies. Still, I would consider 'Jersey' a very different subject.

Although I have very little faith in the search function, I would have opted for a title with 'Jersey' in it to allow for a chance it will pop up if someone searches for 'Jersey.'

Regarding SG specializes catalog, someone sent me a scan, showing that both F1a and F1b appear in the SG 2019 release of Great Britain Specialised - Volume 3
