Stanley Gibbons East Africa, Falkland Islands, & Hong Kong Commonwealth:

Each of these titles follows the usual pattern, with the standard introductory notes and International Philatelic Glossary. Then follow the catalogue pages, 64 for Hong Kong, 65 for Falklands Islands and 173 in the East Africa.

Latest issue dates vary considerably with BAT and Tanzania to January 2009; Hong Kong (despite the publisher's blurb), to only May 2009; Kenya to July 2009; Falkland Islands and Uganda to November 2009, and South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands to December 2009.

The design indexes in Falkland Islands and Hong Kong have been extended accordingly.

Prices for issues up to 1970 have been taken from the latest "red book" and for later issues have been especially revised for these titles.; The editor does not comment on price changes, but as usual the main increases are on rare items and scarce varieties etc.

Some of these since the previous editions; include British East Africa SG5ab, KUT SG167a, BAT SG290a etc.; Falkland Islands issues of the last 10-12 years also show some upward trends.;
