Nice margins, Sharyn.
I look forward to the day when I can add that issue to my early G.B. AND my #1's!
Thanks for the look!
I haven't bought anything for myself as yet, but I usually do....much to my wife's chagrin....lol

I am thinking of ordering some books from the History Book Club, among which will be, a copy of William Manchester book, vol ll, "The Last Lion."
I will wrap it up and slip it over to one of the younger kids as if it was from them.
I'v done that before.

Hi Randy,
I decided I must have the first stamp. That's the one that started it all.

For North Pole Headquarters:
REINDEER ALERT - Kris Kringle can fly over my chimney without stopping.
At a stamp auction last month I had the winning bid ($17.00) for a used (VF) copy of the "Encyclopaedia of World Stamps 1945-1975", by James A MacKay, published in 1976.
Wanted this coffee-table sized reference because of its superb photographs in full colour of thousands of stamps. An unexpected bonus, the text surpasses the images in quality; author MacKay has forgotten more than I will ever know about postage stamps. He must have been a former editor of a newsmagazine for no words are wasted, and every sentence spare, articulate and fact-filled. I'm an out-of-the-closet newspaper/magazine/book junkie and this is the best Christmas present I ever gave myself.

P.S. I've set out a bowl of humbugs in case any Stamporama members drop in during the Yuletide.

My 2012 Durland Catalog has paid off already. While going through Plate Blocks, I found I had 3 Scott 1592 (10c Americana) Plate Blocks of Plate 37246 with Dull Gum. This Plate with Dull Gum is valued at $100. All the other plates are valued at $1. It was not even listed in my 1997-1998 Catalog.

Yes, the layout is permanent in a two-car garage. I have many pictures, but they are too large to upload here as is. I'll work on a few and upload them on a new thread. In the meantime, several years ago, my layout was one of several featured on short video that is on You Tube. Here's the link:

I have added much more scenery to the layout since the video was made.
