Great British Booklets – Issued 1904 to Date
The first Booklet available from Post Offices was a Two Shilling Edward 7 Booklet issued in 1904. Early booklets were all stapled together, until 1917 when stitching was intrduced.
Since 1917, there has been only one other booklet that was stapled and this was one version of the 1969 £1 Stamps For Cooks booklet. The other version is stitched. The stapled booklet sells for about 60 times that of the stitched one and is rare.
Most early booklets issued before the Pre decimal Machins can be found with panes where both Upright and Inverted Watermarks can be found. This applies also to the Sideways watermarks, as these can be left or right facing.
From 1913 to 1943 most booklets had an edition number and many collectors try and collect every edition. In 1943 the edition number was replaced by an issue date. These are again collected by collectors.
Many of the early booklets carried Sponsored Advertising either inside the booklet itself on the interleafs or on the Booklet covers. Advertising on the covers ceased in 1942, but was still allowed inside into the early 1970''s.
