The definitive work for Commonwealth and Empire to 1970 comes out for the 113th time! Though not always quite like this - issues only up to 1970 is an inconvenience for reasons, I guess, of practicality, but a good compromise to keep the size manageable and allow the space for all those excellent colour illustrations.
I was delighted to see significant increases in my own area, pre-war Papua, but the downside is that the gaps will be more expensive to fill. Recently listed varieties have increased the most - could this be due to being legitimised by a Gibbons listing? Papua doesn't even get a mention in the Preface, so those increases that are noted, and there are quite a few, must be quite large.
The format is familiar and there is a useful, in-depth article on the importance of condition in all its guises and how it affects price. This is a welcome addition with much detail and relevant illustrations. It is couched in Gibbons' usual conservative tones, e.g. "One might expect to pay a premium for a modern plate block."
The annual ritual of buying the new Gibbons is never cheap, but it always feels worth it to stay abreast of the market.

This was an excellent purchase. The bible for stamp collectors and dealers, and the best reference I could wish for. Easy to find any stamp, with clear guides to variations and value at current market prices.
