In this issue

"In the January issue, we survey the way in which the four home nations have been represented on Great Britain’s thematic stamp issues over the years, to assess whether Royal Mail has achieved a fair balance.

We also examine the trials and tribulations facing Europe’s major postal operators in the 21st century, and how they are coping with a changing market place, and we go back 50 years to study the early postal history of Tanzania, which featured some strange quirks in the years immediately after independence.

Commonwealth Classics features the 1903 definitive issue of the Straits Settlements, while Great Engravers showcases the work of Frank Manley, the Londoner who emigrated to Australia to transform its stamp design. Another regular feature, Black Magic, looks at a particularly unusual usage of a Mulready caricature in 1840.

Our news pages give our verdict on a surprise third Star Wars issue from Royal Mail, and reveal interesting new releases from around the world. Auction highlights include exhibition pieces to die for, while our columnists and readers offer thought-provoking opinions on all the talking points of the moment."
