'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, the standard edition bound in red cloth with the Royal coat-of-arms emblazoned in gold on the face. 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, some very minor spotting at the long edge of the pages. Weighs 7kg. [Less well known but also less often offered than the deluxe leather-bound edition. The production costs were so high that the publishers, the Dropmore Press, were bankrupted]
Auction catalogues in three archive boxes including Premier/Prestige x30 between Nos 104 & 198 (2003-14), Phoenix Nos 1-42, Millennium x19, and more, emphasis on Australia & Colonies. Weighs 46kg.
