Philatelic Exporter review, courtesy of David Rennie (November 2009):

This is a new title, and despite the title includes details of Argentine stamps up to May 2009. It uses Yvert & Tellier numbers. It is quite comprehensive giving full philatelic details including shades, varieties such as Double Prints, imperforate issues, quantities printed/issued where known and overprint varieties etc. The various coloured papers of the Corrientes issues are listed and priced in detail.

Modern illustrated postal stationery, airletters, cards etc are included. So too are Officials, Telegraph stamps, Ministerial departmental overprints, certain private and semi-official stamps.

Prices are given in the local currency (based on the conversion rate of $3 = US$1).Prices are given variously for mint, later for un-mounted mint, fine used, also earlier items on covers, blocks of four, first day covers etc.

Although a Design Index is perhaps too much to hope for in a first edition, there are some useful priced tables of definite series at the end of the catalogue.

The whole is a substantial, well produced laminated cover paperback with some 534 catalogue pages.; All face/value different stamps are illustrated in full colour, also miniature sheets and postal stationery, and the 2-column layout on semi-matt stock is easy on the eye, and easy to follow even for the non-Spanish reader.
