MEET THE EXPERTS…
Peter Marren is a writer and journalist who used to work
in nature conservation. He has written twenty books
including
Bugs Britannica
and
Rainbow Dust.
His interest in
stamps is focussed on their design and their designers, and
he profiles ten notable stamp designs on page 46.
John Colton’s philatelic exhibit ‘The Undated Free
Handstamps, with Initials, from 1787 to 1792’ recently
won a Gold medal at Stampex. In this month’s ‘Stamp
showcase’ (page 58) John describes notable items from
the exhibit and provides a few tips for fellow collectors.
Professional writer Chris West has written about many
different subjects, from crime fiction through history to
how to start a business. He has written two books on
stamps, including
First Class: A History of Britain in 36
Postage Stamps
and writes our Stamp Story on page 50.
