Canadian Specialized Definitive Books
I have published seven different books on the Canadian definitives issued
since 1952. Canada has been very prolific in releasing definitive stamps over the past
60 years but very little has been written about them (except for the Centennials).

Spiral binding: I can print the book on-demand and take it to a store (such as Staples?) and get the book spiral bound. Since I live in rural Manitoba and am over an hour away from the nearest place that might offer spiral binding, this option will add a bit of cost and days/weeks to the expected shipping time. It may be faster/cheaper for you to take an unbound copy to your local printing house for binding. |

Features: Some of the features found in each book include (click on the links to actual pages):
These provide the most thorough coverage of each stamp and its series ever published for these definitives. Each book went through a dozen (or more) drafts and were seen by recognized philatelists around North America. |
The set of books won a VERMEIL award at ORAPEX 1997 which included Canada's
Fourth National Philatelic Literature Exhibition held in Ottawa, Ontario from April 26-27, 1997. They also won a VERMEIL award at the APS Stampshow 97 held in Milwaukee from August 21-24, 1997. The Centennial book won a VERMEIL award at the APS Stampshow 2001 held in Chicago from August 23-26, 2001. Click here for feedback, reviews, and awards.
