Philatelic Exporter review, courtesy of David Rennie (May 2010):

Stamp issues are now included up to February 2010 and to March 2009 for Postal Stationery for Austria; the page extent is now over 630, but the cover price has been maintained.

The publisher confirms that stamp prices are rising, particularly for varieties and Plate flaws which are much in demand for all periods; however the Dalai Lama stamp remains at €6000.

There is detailed information on vending machine stamps, coil stamps, stamp booklets, stamp packages, registered mail stamps, supplement values, judicial stamps, private order stamps, postage due stamps, premium labels, fiscal stamps used for postage, telegraph stamps, fee stamps and newspaper stamps. In addition there are 90pp devoted to postal stationery.

This has the new style cover in orange.
