A Must-Have Reference for Every Stamp Collector

Whether you're just beginning your philatelic journey or have been collecting for decades, The Illustrated Philatelic Dictionary is an invaluable addition to your library. This full-colour, 96-page softcover guide features nearly 500 clearly written, illustrated definitions covering the people, terminology, tools and techniques of stamp collecting.

Written by long-time Canadian Stamp News contributor Ian S. Robertson, the dictionary goes beyond simple definitions. Hundreds of colour photographs of stamps, covers and philatelic material accompany the entries, helping collectors quickly understand concepts they encounter in catalogues, auction listings, exhibits, club meetings and everyday collecting.

Completely modern yet firmly rooted in philatelic history, the dictionary explains both traditional and contemporary terminology, including Canadian-specific expressions, historical references and many lesser-known terms that are often difficult to find elsewhere. Whether you're researching a stamp, reading an article or simply expanding your knowledge, this guide makes the language of philately easy to understand.

Proudly researched, written, designed and printed in Canada, The Illustrated Philatelic Dictionary is more than a glossary – it's a practical, easy-to-use reference you'll reach for again and again. Collectors, dealers, exhibitors, judges and club members alike will appreciate having this unique Canadian publication close at hand.
