The ever-popular Stanley Gibbons Great Britain Concise provides the perfect catalogue for the collector seeking more detailed information than that provided by the Collect British Stamps checklist, without the comprehensive coverage of the five-volume specialised series. Printed in full colour throughout, providing, priced listings of definitives and commemoratives, regionals, postage dues, departmental officials, postal fiscals, errors, first day covers, booklets, specimens and post office label sheets ('smilers').  Listings are complete from May 1840 to March 2008 and a number of new items have been added to earlier issues, as well as the stamps of the past year. There is an updated design index and helpful diagrams of the 'X' Machin booklet panes. Prices have been revised throughout in line with today's very active GB market.  From Queen Victoria to modern errors and from recent commemoratives to pre-decimal booklets, significant price adjustments will be found throughout the catalogue.
