BNAPS publishes 10 to 15 books per year devoted to BNA philately, and offers
over
150 on its website.
The books cover the postage and revenue stamps and postal history of Canada and its provinces and territories from the stampless era to modern Elizabethan material.
There are detailed studies and comprehensive catalogues. There is also an Exhibit series that features award-winning exhibits of BNA material.
Members can buy BNAPS books at a significant discount from the retail price. This major benefit can offset the membership dues.
