1927 Canberra so-called 'jumbo' booklet with 7½ of 10 marginal panes of 8 (2x4) stapled in the upper margins with no cover - as always - & backing paper of the same stock as the issued Canberra booklets, minor rust around the staple otherwise remarkably fine. Rare. 'Tillie Mitchell's complete booklet - only the second we had seen - sold at our auction of 29.8.2020 for $1015. [Geoff Kellow at page 63 states "Several are recorded, most with some panes of stamps removed". Long considered a 'mystery' issue, perhaps of private manufacture, Kellow goes on to state that these booklets were prepared by the Post Office: a Post Office memorandum states "...these will be in strips of 8 fastened into lots of 80 to represent the number in the whole sheet". If the Post Office could call a Registration Envelope a 'Registered Letter', it could call a block a 'strip']
