Many thanks Lightning-quick safe and secure delivery on simply the BEST guide to Machin's that there is, an absolutely ESSENTIAL reference and guide to any serious collectors of these wonderful stamps, buy with absolute confidence. Excellent!!! This book is a work of art in itself. Best reference on Machin heads Ive seen. Hi, WOW! I am finally trying to sort out and mount my collection after 25 years of neglect, during which time I have continued to accumulate stamps. When coming to the definitives, it quickly became clear that resolving 50 years of Machins is hard work when using standard references. I thought I'd cautiously try your catalogue (hence just going for the PDF edition) - and I'm blown away. It is brilliant, just what I need. I will be taking you up on the offer for the printed edition in the not too distant future! Great work, many thanks! - - - - - This catalogue is amazing. Good communication with seller. Worth every penny. Thank you. A++++++++++ Dear Sirs, I recently acquired the new 2021 catalogue in both print and PDF formats from among your Ebay offers. Thanks to your careful packaging, each survived the trip across the Atlantic without incident and I've already left positive feedback on Ebay concerning both of our transactions. I thought I should drop you a note to express my delight with the new edition. The color registration is quite beautiful and there is no doubt whatsoever that this reference manual will prove to be most useful as I pursue my Machin collection. I would like to express my appreciation to the catalogue editors for the illustrated listing of Machin-related booklets panes and their respective covers. The illustrations will be extremely helpful in my collection efforts! A most comprehensive info source for the serious Machin collector of any level !!! Clearly arranged & structured throughout. Complete range of Machin related themes; a MUST HAVE !!! Thanks for fast handling.
