GBPS Books in (reverse) order of publication date

From time to time, the GBPS publishes important reference works on aspects of GB philately. These are listed below in reverse order of publication date, most recent first – click on a link for more details of each work. Prices are given for those still in print – GBPS members are generally entitled to a discount of 10%. See the orders page for payment details.

Note: for the avoidance of confusion, the 2024 Penny Lilac by Galland, Louis and Young covers the issue in detail, and is a completely different work from the two earlier Lee books which listed and illustrated plate varieties.
