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

This latest edition now includes all issues up to June 2008, and extends to 239pp in the full colour glossy A5 paperback format.  It is a simplified listing but does include miniature sheets, se-tenant items and modern booklets, as well as First Day covers, but no watermark or perforation variations, nor individual self-adhesive stamps, unless only issued in that form.

A very simplified listing of the States is included which does include overprinted Official stamps and Postage Dues.  So too, are the issues for BCOF and Australian Antarctic Territory. Australian Officials, both perfined and overprinted are included, the former in a separate listing, the latter within the main listing. There is a separate section for Framas, but the popular Australian Postage Dues are once again omitted.

Tick boxes are provided for both mint and average used for the States: mint up to decimalization only, but unmounted mint and fine used for all the Australian issues.

Prices are based on a range of dealer prices, auction realisations, advertisements etc.  The minimum price remains at 30c.  A small section of advertisements helps to keep the cover price down to a very competitive level.
