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

Apart from the SG GB Concise, this is probably the one single catalogue most suitable to grace the library shelves of a local society, covering as it does the most popular collecting areas. The latest issues included are usually for 2008, but sometimes into 2009, for the majority of issuing countries.; Even at a club discounted price, it is not cheap, but on past evidence will have shelf life of several years; (the last edition was published in early 2007).

It contains all the Commonwealth issues as listed in the recent Stamps of the World catalogues, (see Exporter Dec 2009).; The publishers advise that almost one third of the items listed in the previous edition have been re-priced, and there are now almost 26,000 full colour illustrations. Descriptions have also been enhanced to make the volume more useful to thematic collectors.

The catalogue order has been reorganised, so that the Territories and States, (Indian and Malayan), are listed within their main country listings, albeit it that this still produces a few annoying anomalies such as New Guinea and Papua after Australia, and Papua New Guinea in its correct alphabetical position.

As with the SoW, the newly revised Introductory Notes, multi-language Glossary (they mean Dictionary), and the new How to Identify Stamps sections are all included at the front in a 40pp section before the main catalogue, which itself now occupies almost 1300pp. The Contents list is on page "v" and there is a volume index to the full Stamps of the World catalogue at the end.

I was pleased to see that the full list of sectionals is now included, though this is immediately rendered out of date by the arrival in the same parcel of the new 4th edition of the Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore catalogue.

This product was added to our catalog on Thursday 01 May, 2008.
