STANLEY GIBBONS ANNOUNCES DIGITAL CATALOGUES
Stanley Gibbons plans to release a major series of 'bespoke' digital stamp catalogues,
which the company sees as a publishing innovation for the entire Stanley Gibbons
catalogue publishing operation.
Their 'one country' digital catalogues will mean that philatelists no longer
will have to buy a bulky catalogue containing some information they have little
use for. In the future, collectors will be able to buy 'Malta', 'Argentina',
'Germany, 'Canada' or any other country they want as individual volumes.
"It's all about increasing choice and giving value for money," says SG production
manager David Hardy, "The new digital 'one country' catalogue range will be both
flexible and functional."
Final details are yet to be confirmed, but the new 'one country' series is expected
to be launched with 'Australia' sometime in late August 2001. Because the Australia
catalogue is one of the largest in the new series, the cover price will be around
£12.95, and it's expected that other volumes will retail for as little as £8.95.
Australia will be followed by Canada, New Zealand, Cyprus, Malta and Gibraltar.
The format of the new 'one catalogue' series is also innovative and exciting.
Each set of pages will be printed on high quality cartridge paper and will be
attractively housed in a specially designed four ring binder.
Individual volumes will come complete with general information pages, other vital
philatelic information, and discount coupons for the other catalogues in the
series.
Stanley Gibbons is keen to stress that the regular production of their standard
printed catalogues will continue for the foreseeable future.
