SG British Empire Catalogue 2008 1840 - 1970

In response to demand from collectors around the world, Stanley Gibbons have extended the period covered by The British Commonwealth Catalogue to include the issues of 1970.

Extending the country listings from 1952 to 1970 takes in the most popular and interesting stamps of the present reign and, as prices for many of the items added have not been reviewed since 2001, there is sure to be a lot of interest in new information which this catalogue contains.

Elsewhere, the process of increasing the proportion of colour illustrations is now almost completed and a number of new items and notes have been added throughout the catalogue, most notably in Iraq.

Prices have been carefully revised in line with the current market, with recent auction realisations for major rarities now reflected in the catalogue.
