Members should consult the pages and check their collections against the listings in advance of the important study and research meeting at Stampex on September 17, after which updates will be added to this TPO section of the website. This is important work. The book was published 28 years ago - since then hundreds if not thousands of updates will have been noted - but crucially not published. Now members have the opportunity to bring a fascinating study area up to date.
