A picture is worth a thousand words, and with 286 colour images to assist the enthusiast, this publication leaves no stone unturned.

The book is printed on a colour laser printer on to 135gsm gloss printers paper (gloss because it shows the images better), acetate sheet front and back to prevent cover damage, as well as a card backing sheet for extra protection. It is bound with a solid plastic slip on grip which I considered much better than spiral binding for durability and ease of use.

IMPORTANT NOTE

“The Guide” gives details of printings, watermarks, flaws, perforations, postally used discussion and all the technical aspects of the set (which appeals to some collectors), whereas “The Catalogue” focuses on PRICES for the various printings of each stamp & market values realised for scarcer items – this is of value to collectors who wish to get a handle on how much their collection is worth or how much they should be paying for their purchases.
