Booklets/material
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:00 pm
I have recently seen messages stating interest in booklets - but without details.
Specialised booklet collection is basically a thing of the past when carried out in the way that members of the GBDSBC used to do it and still is assiduously practised by the few remaining members of MBPC.
I have always taken an interest in GB booklets, but never in a straight forward way.
I study the skeletons, flaws on covers and interleaves. I study GB booklets from the Channel Islands that most of you dont even know exist. Yes they were printed, in the main by British printers.
These attract an audience of nil.
Those of you who are sitting on booklet material, should hatch it or give it to me!!!
I particularly require skeletons for all Sterling Machin booklets, together with the stitched booklet skeletons of decimal issues.
I have just completed a booklet on the first 2/- booklet issue of Guernsey, which I will enter in Stampex next year. Copies available - but I wont hold my breath!
Literally hundreds of flaws exist on this series of booklets, printed by Harrison
It illustrates how bad printers can get when going down hill. It also shows there are areas of GB collection which are still being totally ignored.
