image 'The Royal Philatelic Collection' edited by Sir John Wilson (1952), being a complete catalogue of the most important and valuable stamp collection ever formed, compiled by the Keeper of the Royal Collection himself. Without doubt, this is the finest philatelic book of all time, produced on the highest-quality paper, extensively illustrated with 64 black & white plates and 12 exceptional colour plates. This is the deluxe edition bound in red Morocco leather with the Royal coat-of-arms emblazoned in gold on the face, a couple of small faults on the leather & some minor spotting. [Superior to the example in our auction of 31.8.2020 that sold for $4312]

image 'The Catalogue of the Royal Philatelic Collection: British Australasia' being the looseleaf pages for Australia, the Australian Colonies, New Zealand and the Pacific islands including New Guinea GRI & NWPI issues, 92pp hardbound in half-leather with colour plates X &XI and the monochrome plates x7, in the original flat box with library labels. Superb! [The various parts are much scarcer than the entire work. We have handled only a few copies of the Australasia pages & this is the only bound example we have seen, making this a prize for the dedicated bibliophile]
