Stamp Collector | August 2023
August’s Stamp Collector takes us to Curaçao, as we chart the fascinating stamp history of this curious Caribbean island and reflect on its troubling history as a hub for the slave trade. We also travel to Paraguay and provide a guide to choosing the country’s most notable pictorials from the vast range available; and we take a closer look at a stand-out set from Bulgaria.
In his regular GB column, Richard West asks what makes a good stamp design; we detail the new ‘Warhammer’ stamps issued by Royal Mail (and give you the chance to win them!); and dive into the world of ‘stamped-to-order postal stationery’.
With postal history, interviews, price guides, and all the latest news, the August issue of Stamp Collector is packed with all the information you need to build your knowledge and your collection.
