Greetings to all. By now, you will hopefully have received our latest catalogue and stocklist which I hope proves of interest. You will see that the old "Extraneous items" lists have disappeared and been replaced with "Special Items" which are all now placed in country order and should be less confusing. This section includes any items that don’t fit into our stocklists, such as covers, postcards, varieties, colour trials, millesimes, space-fillers and so on.

I’ve been fortunate in being offered some superb postal history covers etc which I will be eking out into the catalogues over the next few months. I hope they prove of interest and even tempt you to buy some for your own collections. As Ive said so often, the introduction of covers and varieties to a straight-forward stamp collection can greatly enhance its appeal.

If you are reading this, it means you have access to our website where you will find more photographs than can be put in our catalogue and also they can be blown up and examined in finer detail.

Since our last newsletter, we have added much to our stocks including good Mint and Used additions to New Caledonia, New Hebrides, Reunion, St Pierre et Miquleon, Senegal, Togo and Wallis & Futuna Islands. These additions didn’t quite make the new printed catalogue but are, of course, all shown in the stocklists on the website, which is kept updated every ten days or so.

Meantime enjoy the cooler days of our Autumn as we will. Remember we are always available by telephone if you have any queries about any lots or stamps etc and also happy to take orders over the 'phone if it makes things easier for you.
Best regards   
Terry Garcia.
