Most of those are serious books for serious philatelists. I'd definitely recommend a Stanley Gibbons Part 1 catalogue if you collect GB and British Commonwealth stamps AND READ THE INTRODUCTORY PAGES! Nearly every question asked by collectors is answered in those pages at the front. It would be useful to hear your views on SG vs Scott vs Michel vs Yvert...a World Cup of stamp catalogues? Some collecting areas are also served by wonderful one country catalogues too such as Heijtz Falkland Islands handbook.

agree I also prefer Stanley Gibbons Books magazines wide range of information

[@StampAuctions]

Yes. This is good advice. If anyone collects African stamps then please check out Africastamps (after looking at our website first, of course!) who are knowledgeable and well respected in the area.

Missed you guys

[@StampAuctions]

Wow, thanks. We enjoy making these videos although Vincent complains he looks too short compared to Andrew...

[@pinedelgado4743]

Great video, Andy and Vincent!! I actually have a copy of THE QUEEN'S STAMPS by Nicholas Courtney that sits among my modest collection of philatelic literature. It's definitely one of my favorites!! BTW. I've been collecting stamps for 42 years since the age of twelve and I've enjoyed every moment of it!! :) :) :) :)

Well done for owning that fabulous book! Yes, stamps are a great blessing and you don't have to spend lots of money to enjoyably pass the time.

Your video was recommend from KZbin. I come from Germany and it was really interesting to hear some recommendations from UK on areas you do not find a lot in Germany. One recommandation from my side: You can show the cover of each book in the video, so it is far easier to recognise if someone is interested in the book. It is not a must, but gives the video a higher quality.

[@StampAuctions]

Thanks for the tip, we'll do that next time.

سلام .آیا خود این کتاب‌ها یا کاتالوگ های قدیمی دارای ارزش هستند؟ اگر یه کاتالوگ بسیار قدیمی داشته باشیم آیا دارای ارزش هست‌؟

[@seye8eyes]

Superb books regarding books of stamps With wide range of information But I still prefer Stanley Gibbons collection of 1970 magazine 1969 each monthly magazines it gives insight of wide range of Auctioneers that disappeared over time Black-and-white print and as color was coming in on television and magazines and books

[@StampAuctions]

Yes, I know what you mean. I've been in the stamp business since 1980 and collected before then and I'm amazed at the changes and the missing names.
