- A number of new plates and some completely new listings have been added to the Great Britain stamps used in South and Central America.
- New plate and watermark varieties have been added throughout the catalogue, including some more ‘Damaged frame and crown’ flaws on the Edward VII ‘Imperium’ keyplates. Other plate flaws appear in Antigua, Ascension, Australia, Ceylon, South Africa and elsewhere.
- New notes have been provided to assist collectors in the correct identification of scarcer varieties, warnings about forgeries and to give further cetails on printings, release dates, varieties and much else. Notes regarding the use of overprinted British stamps in the UK have been revised.
- Previously unillustrated varieties are now shown for the first time (Canada, India, Malaysia, etc) and several formerly listed but unpriced varieties have now been given a valuation.
- Prices have been checked throughout and there are revisions to nearly all countries and every period from the 1850s to the 1960s, mint and/or used. The large number of price increases reflects the continuing demand for Commonwealth stamps in fine condition, but there are a few reductions as well, so it will pay to have the new catalogue to refer to if you are buying or selling.
