20th May 2026
Not too much news this week, we are still waiting on some exciting new material in transit to us. Meanwhile we managed to acquire some useful Andorra which has been added to our stocklist. And, as normal, we have updated the extraneous lists to exclude those items recently sold.
Also, just in case you were away for our last newsletter, I will repeat the following:
"The BIG NEWS is that the publishers at Stanley Gibbons contacted us to inform me that, at long last, they are publishing a new French Colonies Catalogue. It's ten years since the last one and I'll be interested to see any changes. Our current office copy is in tatters from a decade's use and urgently needs replacing. I haven't much more information except that it should come out this July and will probably be priced in the £40 region. Normally we order a batch from SG, so if you would like one, please let me know and we will book it in for you. They normally do a fairly short publishing run so they can go out of print quite quickly. You can of course also order them direct from SG, the price would be the same."
Meanwhile, our thanks to all for your continued loyalty, despite our recent price changes.
Terry Garcia.
Next update: 30th May 2026.
