Unless things have changed recently there is only one volume of Unitrade. The only other Unitrade catalogue I'm aware of is the one for Canada precancels.

It's two volumes now, 1851-1952 and 1953-2025, RRP $95.95 Canadian. FVH https://www.fvhstamps.com had a pre-order at $69.95, but that expired yesterday. They're selling at $74.95

Why do they have to make it difficult?
If anyone is only interested in Volume 2, why not one of us buy the set and we can split the cost.

The two volumes come shrink-wrapped together. Vol 1 is ostensibly from the Province of Canada in 1851 until the end of the reign of King George VI in 1952 including the provinces. However, All of the postage dues and Officials are in this volume along with booklets up to 1952. Most of the traditional BOB material is in this volume - Air Post Semi-Official, Private Commercial Airlines, Registration, POW and the like.
Volume 2 starts with Queen Elizabeth in 1953 to current day. Semi-postals, annual collections, Postal stationery, Booklets from BK48, Federal wildlife, Christmas seals and so on are in this volume.

Has anyone acquired this set yet? Any reason to buy if you have 2023?

Honestly John, for the small amount of new information, I wouldn't bother! IMHO!! But I haven't seen the new one, maybe there's heaps of good new stuff in there, but I doubt it!!

If anyone does buy the new one, I'd be interested in buying a post-2020 used copy

Hi Dave, I have purchased the new Unitrade catalogue. I was courious as to the new information in this two volume edition ... not that much that I will use.
I have a 2024 edition that is now surplus that you can have. Are you prepared to pay for the shipping?
Happy day, Clarence

Hi Clarence, that's a great offer, thank you! Can you get me a quote on the postage (no bells and whistles, the cheapest postage will be fine)?

Clarence....are you saying that there really isn't much new info in volume 1?
Thanks/John

There is the update John to current issues to March 21, 2025 (no Scott numbers for 2025 issues) and other listings that I have no use for. If you have a 2024 like I do, I would not recommend a purchase. Many of the pages that I checked against the 2024 issue are an exact duplicate ... same words, same images.
