Send an envelope! …. (please)
Funny heading for an advertisement however I am sure you are used to them by now. My motive for the ‘envelope’ is quite simple, as we are finally working on the "interesting and inexpensive material", which simply costs too much to advertise in this magazine. We will be posting out to those interested a complete new listing which includes the material we advertise on the internet (for those who are computerless) and loads of other items currently available. What we will be offering is stamps from all sorts of countries at a set price, however if you like/want/need any item on the list and in your honest opinion the item is not up to my usual discounted rate, please talk to Damien or myself…. simply because we want your business and we want to get it right! If you choose to send half a dozen self-addressed envelopes (largish if possible) we will be delighted to send the next few lists to you. Interested? Thought you might be! You might have noticed there are no pictures this issue. That’s because of the crazy technical problems at Stamp News last month. We will illustrate again next time, but it does mean we can show you more stamps today!
