This auction is for a complete issue of “BNA Topics,” the official quarterly journal of the “British North America Philatelic Society Ltd.” Each issue covers a wide variety of subjects in the world of Canadian stamp collecting. Material on pretty much every aspect, from highly specialised articles with footnotes and such, to brief mentions of interesting topics of note; readers’ correspondence; auction & sale notes; stamp news; book reviews, and much more! There are also loads of photos and illustrations, making the Journal an important resource for the collector, historian, or anyone interested in postal history in Canada.

This particular issue is for Volume 68, Number 3, Whole Number 528, (2011). I’ve scanned the complete Table of Contents, so you can see exactly what is included in this issue.

It is 80 pages long, and though it is used, is in excellent condition. Top bidder should add $3.99 post in Canada, or $5.99 postage to the USA. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking!
