Dummy
Stamps Newsletter was instigated in the
Summer of 2006 and covers items of interest
to the compiler about items from the world of British
dummy philatelic material, with an occasional
excursion abroad. It will be published
as a minimum of four sides of A4 when time permits,
but roughly quarterly.
It can be downloaded
as a PDF file and printed on your colour /
black and white printer, or can be saved as a file for screen
viewing at any time.
