The Best of Stamp News Publishing (SNP)

Greetings!

I am including in this month's SNO more than the usual complement of articles.

One that is being published for the first time anywhere is Geir Sør-Reime's Botswana Landlocked Country article. Geir sent me 235 images from which I could work, with some issues and overprints overlapping between Bechuanaland and Bechunaland Protectorate. That took two full days, but it was time well spent.

As promised, I am also taking time to search our seven different publications for "Yesterday" articles that will give you more articles and a wider diversity in each SNO. System and software changes over the years, as well as the obsolescence of some storage media makes it more difficult than it should be, but this month we go as far back as 1937. Some of these have been published in SNO, but I tried to avoid anything that was recently in SNO.

Enjoy!

John F. Dunn, Publisher
