January’s Stamp Collector explores the ‘working life’ of Britain’s King George V stamps. The in-depth guide gives us a fascinating glimpse into the past, as we follow their journeys and meet the people who used them in their everyday lives.

Our European stamp tour continues with Iberia, as we chart the intriguing philatelic histories of Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar; we provide a price guide to German colonial stamps; and we take a look at a classic 1980s set from Jersey.

With Xmas quickly approaching, our rundown of this year’s seasonal stamps is a festive treat, and our guides to collecting by theme, include keys, World Refugee Year, and alcohol on stamps.
