Although every effort was made to provide an error-free book, a couple of
mistakes were found just after the book was published (naturally!). Despite numerous drafts,
multiple readings, and detailed editing, a few minor errors still exist.
Hopefully no more will be spotted and reported, but,
if you do see an error, please report it to the author
Robin Harris.

- the 5c value was issued in plates 1-3 on Feb 8/67. The timeline shows
only plates 1-2 (on second line at upper left of timeline).
|

Correction |
- the illustration showing the sheet layout of six panes (Sheet Type 3) should have inscriptions in all 4 corners of all 6 panes. The shaded illustration of Pane Type 3a correctly shows these four inscriptions.

Addition |
- under Table 5, Note 6 says that the
proofs of 600/300 on gummed paper are on dextrine except as noted. The proofs of the 6c are on PVA gum.

Correction |
- first bullet opposite Fig 99, last sentence refers to Fig 100 but it should
actually be Fig 99.
|
|

Correction |
- In the magnified view of Fig. 104, the leftmost column of stamps
is column 3, not 4, and the next column is column 4, not 5. Column 5 doesn't exist since
the 5c miniature pane consists of five rows by four columns of stamps.

Correction |
- The 2nd paragraph states that either typography or lithography was
used to print the tagging. It has now been determined that lithography was used.
The text for the first part of the paragraph should read:
To the printer, the phosphor "colour" is just another ink, albeit a nuisance as far as
quality control is concerned because it is almost invisible - hence the wealth of misplaced
tagging varieties. CBN did not print the phosphor bars by engraving. A letter from the Post
Office Dept. reprinted on page 101 of the Catalogue indicates that CBN used lithography
to print the General tagging. CBN probably used lithography to print the Winnipeg
tagging as well. Thus CBN had to manufacture lithographic plates to print the phosphor bars,
and print the phosphor as a separate operation on a different printing press after the
design was printed by engraving.
- caption for Fig 105, second last sentence says "...lower left corner...".
It should be "...lower right corner...".
|
|
| 55 |
Reword |
- in the last paragraph on the page:
The last half of the paragraph should
read: "Besides the "T" guidelines, the 3¢ has short
horizontal guidelines along the left and right edge of the plate at the top,
centre, and bottom, the 4¢ has a single vertical guideline at the top in the
centre of the plate, and the 5¢ is the same as the 3¢ except that it doesn't
have a horizontal guideline along the right edge of the plate at the
centre."

Correction |
- the spacing of the perforations on the coil in Figure 112 is normal. There
is no perforation jump. Thus, the second sentence in the caption for Figure 112 should be deleted, and the
last sentence in the second paragraph below Figure 112 (the one beginning: "Fig. 112 shows a sizable perforation
jump...") should also be deleted.
|
|
| 63 |
Correction |
- in the first paragraph, the phrase "...on pane R1C2 2/4 (that is, the stamp in row 2 column 4
of the pane from row 2 column 4 of the sheet)..." should read: "...on pane R1C2 2/4 (that is, the stamp
in row 2 column 4 of the pane from row 1 column 2 of the sheet)..."
|
|

Correction |
- in Table 12, the date for die proof R0106 was converted to a number.
The date should read 23 July 1968
|
|
| 72 |
Correction |
- in Table 16, the last two entries in the row for the 7c were translated from dates
into numbers of some sort. The dates should be 5 May 1971 and 30 June 1971.
|
|
| 80 |
Addition |
|
|
| 81 |
Correction |
- paragraph opposite Fig 134 beginning "After the web is perforated...".
The sentence "The narrow rolls are typically one or three
booklets wide." should read "The narrow rolls are typically one to three
booklets wide."
- the last sentence of the first paragraph under the quote under "[CPC7] goes on to say:"
, "cris-crossed" should be "criss-crossed".
|
|
| 81 |
Addition |
- The first paragraph to the right of Figure 134 lists two booklets,
BK58 and BK59, that were found with part of the control number in the selvedge. At
least one more booklet has been found with this variety, BK62.
|
|
| 85 |
Correction |
- The first paragraph under Table 18 refers to "Figs. 24 and 25". This should read
"Figs. 119 and 120".
|
|
| 86 |
Formatting fix |
- The "l" in "Total" in the header for the last column in Table 20 has wrapped
to the next line - it should read "Total" on one line.
|
|
| 97 |
Correction |
- The last sentence in the second paragraph of the "Fluorescent Ink" section should read:
Used, dated copies are typically found cancelled from the date of issue of the 6c orange stamp
(Nov 1/68) to the end of 1969 (later dates may exist).
|
|
| 98 |
Correction |
- Tagging sub-section in the Background section, General
tagging paragraph at the beginning: Second sentence
says "General tagging was introduced in April 1972...". The date should
be November 1971 since that's when the first GT stamp appeared (the
1c).
|
|
| 106 |
Clarification |
- The table has a footnote "2" but there is no reference in the table itself. The footnote applies
to the 6c orange listings (two rows).
- The 6c orange coil figures would be more appropriate in the row above the one it is
currently found in - the perf 10 row rather than the perf 12.5 row.
|
|
| 129 |
Missing |
- A line of text is missing from the 1c "Usage" chart. Add the following below the chart:
"Replaced by the 1c Caricature (Sir John A. Macdonald) definitive (Scott 586), issued on October 17, 1973."
|
|
| 141, 143, 322 |
Update |
- the position of the 'missing left side of tree trunk' variety has been identified as Pos 1/1
|
|
| 158 |
Text overlap |
- about 2/3 of the way down the page, "[ Fig 349 ]" overlaps "(Jun 94)"
|
|
| 178 |
Update |
- the EKU for the 6c orange, perf 10, fluorescent ink, untagged, dex gum (sheet stamp)
is November 1, 1968. This is the same date as the issue date of the 6c orange stamp.
As a result, the Issued date for Plate# 2, Flrsc Ink should also be Nov 1,
1968 (not 1969).
|
|
| 181 |
Addition |
- The 6c orange, perf 10 with Fluorescent ink, sheet version, also exists LF/fl (in addition to the NF listing).
|
|
| 214 |
Update |
- Variety 6b-43 (Figure 532) has been positioned at Row 7, Column 9. {posted Feb 24/03}
|
|
| 242 |
Addition |
- The September 2000 issue of the Centennial Definitive Study Group Newsletter (page 674-675)
has the update to the 8c Library of Parliament Irwin/Freedman Fluorescent table charts.
|
|
| 243 |
Deletion |
- The 8c Library of Parliament, Plate 2 does not exist on PVA gum, as listed about 1/3 of
the way down the page. The catalogue lists the 544ii, PVA gum, LF as being on plate 2 and 4 - delete the plate 2 entry.
|
|
| 249 |
Correction |
- The illustration in Figure 636 is incorrect. The caption is correct - the picture
should show an 8c Library of Parliament with a 50c Summer's Store stamp. {posted Oct 9/00}

- In the timeline at the bottom of the page, the "Jul 73" milestone should read "plate 7" rather than "plates 5-6".
|
|
| 255 |
Formatting |
- The second paragraph of the Type II section has text that overlaps itself. The paragraph should
read:
Thirty different constant varieties are known but have not yet been plated at the time of
this publication. Anyone with full panes showing these Type II dots is asked to contact
the author. (some blocks with the Type II dots also show the extended line variety)
|
|

|
|
| 384 |
Correction |
- The listing for EN97d should read "6c on 5c" (not "on 6c").
|
|
| 402 |
Deletion |
- Figure 1441 is actually a 6c orange die and is illustrated correctly on
page 394 as Figure 1399, thus, delete Figure 1441.
|
|
| 434 |
Change |
- the paper for the album pages will be 80lb, not 100lb.
- there are now 213 pages (up from 210) in the complete set of specialized album pages.
