Sometimes ones specialised knowlege is enough to get by. This is the reason I bought the cheapie in the first place. I did not want to spend a fortune on something I may not use to often.<br /><br />Although Machins are listed these are limited to missing colour, wide bands, imperforated and missing phosphors. Its been a while since I read it and I have not actually read the updated version at this time. I did notice a couple of newish errors on the web site.<br /><br />I should have mentioned that Special issues take up most of the space in the book and are the main subject. And this is the reason I have linked to their website. Lots of Machin Collectors also collect Special issues.<br /><br />Booklets and booklet pages are another matter. A specilaised subject on their own. These are not listed as Ian points out. PERHAPS ONE DAY?<br /><br />The MBPC( Modern British Philatelic Circle) and the Machin Collectors Club are more likly to list actual booklet errors.<br /><br />Deegam and Connoisseur list the above Machin)errors including inset, short and notched bands. Connoisseur also lists error booklets to a degree. <br /><br />The old saying comes to mind, you can never have enough catalogues.Machin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518381259926478157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-3786383245344394532009-10-10T20:39:46.545-12:002009-10-10T20:39:46.545-12:00Oops: it's not possible to edit comments, so I...Oops: it's not possible to edit comments, so I'll repost the last one in the right order:<br /><br />Is that last paragraph yours or theirs?<br /><br />The scope of errors listed is limited, as far as I know and does not include, for instance, duplicate pages in recent PSBs.<br /><br />I wrote to Tom about this aspect but did not receive a reply.<br /><br />Because I don't deal specifically in errors - although as you say we'd all like to discover one! - I don't have a need for the book.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.com
