CANADA - Stanley Gibbons Canada 2008 Published by Stanley Gibbons. 78pp. Colour. English Inc British Columbia and Vancouver Island, Colony of Canada, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, miniature sheets, booklets, postage dues, officials, thematic index ; Philatelic Exporter review, courtesy of David Rennie (January 2009): This latest edition includes issues up to the 1st August 2008, and the stamps and booklets now occupy 78 catalogue pages, which also includes a design index for those issued since 1942. £2 more for just five extra pages is perhaps a sign of the difficult financial situation. As before with the sectionals, the issues for QV-1970 are taken directly from the latest "red-book", the later QE issues have been specially re-priced for this edition. The publisher's blurb mentions "new varieties" but gives no clue to what these are, and unlike the "red book" there is no list of additions or number changes. However looking at the latest edition of that, will guide you to British Columbia 22y, Newfoundland D6ad and Canada 359b. There may be others from earlier editions. It is surprising that, even now in the third edition, there are still quite a number of black and white illustrations still to be converted.  |
