More than 1300 pages

The new World Airma il Catalogue is now ready. This, the most inform­ative catalogue in the world, has been completely revised and updated. Extras that you will get in the new Sanabria include:

• Illustrations of all face different stamps ... a help to all colledors and a necessity for Topical collectors.

• Souvenir sheets illustrated and priced.

• Covers listed - of great importance; a stamp on cover can be worth many times more than the same stamp off cover.

• Quantities of stamps issued are given when known.

• Proofs, essays and specimen are listed.
