Plus much, much more. It is 700 pages of valuable, essential and extremely interesting material for every Bermuda Collector from the novice to the specialist.
Horst has generously made this book available free of charge to members of The Bermuda Collectors Society and in his words he “hopes that it will be another resource for collectors with an interest in Bermuda. It covers many of the subjects that have interested me for the last 60 years or so and I hope that other collectors will expand on some of the stories in the future”.

The stamps are beautiful and there are not too many post office issues, making collecting attainable.
-
There is as much variety and specialisation as you want. Delve in to the different printings and varieties of specialist issues or just collect one of each.
-
Bermuda is rich in history and that translates to enormously interesting Postal History. Choose from Postcards, Naval, Maritime, Boer War, Censorship from WWI and WWII and more.
-
An active membership and a great deal of literature is available to guide and educate every level of collector.
-
Spend as much or as little as you want. A great collection can be started for a few dollars right the way though to hundreds of thousands for those with deep pockets who want an example of Bermuda’s world famous Perot Postmaster stamp.
