	THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO THE GREAT BRITAIN LINE ENGRAVED 1d AND 2d STARS 1840 –1864. We have a very limited number of complete sets of Volumes 1 to 18 for £950 incl Inland Postage with the option to spread the payment over 6 months, including a voucher for £50 towards any purchase from List number 56 or our current Lots & Collections List. Personally I find it unbelievably useful for identifying or cross-referencing 1d Reds and Plating the 2d Stars is a "doddle" using Volume 18 (still available separately at £100 each) which includes the reproduction of the photographs of the Dendy Marshall reconstructions.

STAMP ALBUMS

SA1	Stanley Gibbons GB Windsor Elite Standard Albums. The full set of 6 albums with 2 in each slipcase for the period 1840 to 2008. Although second hand these are in fantastic condition. Only Volume 1 seems to have stamps in it as it still has some black Hawids in it and Volume 6 (1996 to 2008) has no pages. Looks brilliant in Red and would compliment any bookshelf. Retail in 2010 was £395. Taking into consideration the pages needed in Volume 6, we think our price plus postage is a real bargain.	£195
SA2	Boxed Red Stanley Gibbons Windsor Album quite good second hand condition for this and covering 1840-1975 and including Regionals, Postage Dues and Officials.	£30
SA3	An unboxed Greeb Stanley Gibbons Windsor Album pages 1 to 58 complete (1840 to the end of GVI). Many later pages in very good condition.	£20
