<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Molokai, post: 928075, member: 2441&quot;]<i>Philatelic Exhibition Labels</i> by James Drummond, 894(!) pages, $129.00. Loose-leaf, 3-holed punched. All color images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Comes now, James Drummond who has compiled and cataloged a number of philatelic sidelines. Clearly, vast amounts of effort and research went into all of his books. Perhaps his most popular are the three volumes and supplement, <i>Philatelic Miscellany</i> – not to be confused with McDonald’s excellent <i>American Philatelic Miscellany</i>. I do not have this series but hope to acquire it soon. All of his works may be purchased from <a href="http://www.ericjackson.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ericjackson.com/" rel="nofollow">www.ericjackson.com</a> the place for revenue and ‘miscellany’ collectors. The pages load a tad slow for me but the website itself is full of goodies and easily navigated. </p><p><br /></p><p>This book is, essentially, a catalog. All the images are in color and text is generally limited to descriptions and facts about the material – values, printings, dates, varieties, sizes. Again, the research required to obtain all of this information leaves me in awe. <i>Philatelic Exhibition Labels</i> will certainly appeal to specialists but is not a storybook. If the field is of interest to you the book is obviously a ‘must-have.’ Lots of eye candy!</p><p><br /></p><p>There seems to be a renewal of interest in philatelic sidelines, cinderellas and the like. This tome should be well-received.</p><p><br /></p><p>As noted, this is V.1. V.2 – M-Z will be published later; hopefully soon! Ergo, the full ticket will run around $260.00. Note also, the pages are unbound. That suits me fine. I have several books towards this size in nice matching binders I bought from Wal-Mart for $7.00 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me place blame for this brief review squarely where it belongs - &lt;ANGLOBOB&gt; and &lt;DONSELLOS&gt;! They are the rascals who encouraged my interest in cinderellas and poster stamps generally and philatelic exhibition material specifically!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12575[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
