The British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS) is pleased to announce the simultaneous release of three new books in its ongoing Exhibit Series.
"Til Death Do Us Part” - Usages of the Caribou Revenues in the Lives of Newfoundlanders, by Peter de Groot. 92 pages, 8.5 x 11, Spiral bound, 2012. BNAPS Exhibit Series #65. ISBN: 978-1-927119-02-0 (Colour), 978-1-927119-03-7 (B&W). Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h923.65.1 (Colour) - $C51.00; B4h923.65 (Black & White) - $C35.95
The late Peter de Groot’s "Til Death Do Us Part” - Usages of the Caribou Revenues in the Lives of Newfoundlanders, was first shown in Canada at BNAPEX-2009-SEAWAYPEX in Kingston, Ontario where it received a Vermeil award with Felicitations of the Jury and the Wilmer Rockett Award for the best BNA Revenue exhibit. At ORAPEX 2010 in Ottawa, Ontario it received a Vermeil and the BNAPS BNA Research Award. Peter described the exhibit as “A fiscal history treatment showing Newfoundland’s Caribou Revenues on documents and covers during their 49 year period of use from 1938 to 1986”. Among the many uses of the three issues of the Caribous shown in the exhibit are mortgage related documents, Birth and Death Certificates, Powers of Attorney, Letters of Probate and even a Marine Master's Certificate.
Peter de Groot passed away at the age of 56 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario on 22 October 2010, following a lengthy cancer-related illness. An entomologist by profession, Peter specialized in the insect-pests of Canada’s forests. Peter’s professional skills were mirrored by his attention to detail in researching, planning and exhibiting his philatelic collections. His exhibiting style told a story using various documents to illustrate the applications and rates of fees and taxes paid by revenue stamps. From 2006 through 2008, Peter also wrote a series of important articles in Canadian Revenue Newsletter that reviewed the history and rates of Newfoundland’s Inland Revenue stamp taxes and fees.
Canadian Patriotics – J.C. Wilson & Company, 2012, by Larry R. Paige. 82 pages, 8.5 x 11, Spiral bound, 2012. BNAPS Exhibit Series #66. ISBN: 978-1-927119-00-6 (Colour), 978-1-927119-01-3 (B&W). Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock# B4h923.66.1 (Colour) - $C49.00; B4h923.66 (Black & White) - $C34.95
The last few years of the nineteenth century were marked In Canada by an outpouring of patriotism, sparked first by the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria and then by the South African War, with some side interest in the Spanish-American War which took place in the same period. One of the manifestations of this was the printing of beautifully designed multicolour envelopes and post cards, the subject of the late Larry Paige’s Canadian Patriotics – J.C. Wilson & Company.
An offshoot of Larry’s Canadian Flag Cancellation exhibit, Larry first showed his Wilson Patriotics at BNAPEX 1984 in San Francisco, CA where he received a Silver award with Felicitations of the Jury and was the first ever recipient of the Ed and Mickey Richardson Award. Given annually to the exhibit best representing one or more of research, originality, innovativeness and presentation, the Ed and Mickey Richardson Award is sponsored by the Prairie Beavers Regional Group of BNAPS. Larry showed the version of the Wilson Patriotics illustrated in this book at BNAPEX 1996 in Fort Worth and again received a Silver with Felicitations of the Jury.
A regular attendee at philatelic conventions, exhibitions and bourses in both Canada and the United States, especially in the mid-Atlantic region, Larry was always looking for elusive rates and dates, the best postal markings and undiscovered material. He was generous in his support of philatelic organizations and individuals and his knowledge, which he freely gave, was sought by both dealers and collectors. A Licensed Surveyor by profession, Larry worked in the United States, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and the US base in Cuba.
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia: Communications of the 1700s and Postal Markings of the 1800s, by Hugh Rathbun. 78 pages, 8.5 x 11, Spiral bound, 2012. BNAPS Exhibit Series #67. ISBN: 978-1-927119-04-4 (Colour), 978-1-927119-05-1 (B&W). Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h923.67.1 (Colour) - $C50.00; B4h923.67 (Black & White) - $C35.95
Annapolis Royal, Canada’s oldest settlement, offers over four hundred years of communications and postal history. There are challenges for the collector, however. No letters from the French period, pre-1710, are known to exist outside museums and archives. Because the population has been less than five hundred people for most of the town’s history, some pre-Confederation Annapolis postmarks are known by a single example, while others have only two, three, or four surviving strikes.
Assembled over a period of thirty-five years, Hugh Rathbun’s Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia: Communications of the 1700s and Postal Markings of the 1800s, was first shown at NOVAPEX 2005 in Halifax, Nova Scotia where it received a regional Gold award. The following year, at three frames, it received a national level Gold at the same show. At BNAPEX-2008-NOVAPEX, also in Halifax, it received a Gold award with Felicitations of the Jury. In 2011, at four frames, it received a Gold and the American Philatelic Society Research Award at Philatelic Show in Boxborough, MA.
After graduating from Acadia University with a B.A. and a B.Ed., Hugh taught high school English in Annapolis Royal from 1967-1969, before going to the University of Maine to acquire a Master of Arts in English. Returning to Nova Scotia in 1971, he taught at Hants East Rural High School. In 1972, he moved to Dartmouth High School for the next 29 years of his career. Since retirement from teaching in 2001, Hugh has travelled frequently, visiting post offices in Nova Scotia and antique shops and shows in the Maritimes and New England. He has also formed an extensive collection of antique souvenir china showing Canadian post offices.

The British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS) Ltd. is pleased to announce the release of Ken Kershaw's Plating of the Lithographed One Cent Stamp of Newfoundland #87.
The Lithographed One Cent Stamp of Newfoundland #87 Plating the Left-Hand Pane, Pane A, 2012, by Kershaw, Kenneth A. Spiral bound, 234 pages, 8.5 × 11. ISBN 978-1-897391-95-2; Stock # B4h054.1 $C 80.00
The Lithographed One Cent Stamp of Newfoundland #87 Plating the Right-hand Pane, Pane B, 2012, by Kershaw, Kenneth A. Spiral bound, 244 pages, 8.5 × 11. ISBN 978-1-897391-96-9; Stock # B4h054.2 $C 80.00
 
In The Lithographed One Cent Stamp of Newfoundland #87 Plating the Left-Hand Pane, Pane A and The Lithographed One Cent Stamp of Newfoundland #87 Plating the Right-hand Pane, Pane B, Ken Kershaw completes – for now at least - his phenomenal output of plating information and new discoveries on stamps of Canada and two of the British colonies that became part of Canada. After books on plating Canada’s Half Cent Maple Leaf and 1898 Christmas Map stamps, he prepared six more on the Pence and Cents issues of Prince Edward Island, a two-volume set on Canada’s 5˘ Beaver, a trio on the high value stamps of the 1859 Cents issue, a five volume set on the 3d Beaver and, most recently, another two-volume set on the Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen. In this new two-volume set, for the first time Ken tackles a stamp of Newfoundland, the one-cent value of the 1910 Guy issue. The new books have been done in the style and format of Ken’s previous sixteen BNAPS books, and will offer lots of fun for aficionados of plating and/or the Guy issue. Not resting on his laurels, Ken is currently plating stamps of Nepal and Tibet, with a side line building detailed replicas of multi-masted 19th century sailing ships. We wish him well in those endeavours.
Ken Kershaw was born in England and became fascinated by plants at an early age. He graduated from Manchester University with a B Sc degree in Botany in 1952. After military service he went on to a Ph. D. degree working on pattern in vegetation, and was appointed lecturer in Plant Ecology at Imperial College London in 1957. He was seconded to Ahmadu Bello University in northern Nigeria for two years. On his return to Imperial College he became involved with lichen ecology, particularly in alpine and arctic areas, in addition to his work on computer modeling and data analysis. He obtained his D Sc in 1965 and was appointed Professor at McMaster University, Hamilton in 1969. His research was then devoted heavily to the ecology of the Canadian low arctic and northern boreal forest areas, and in 1982 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of several university texts.
Ken’s passion for wild plants has been transferred to Canadian philately. He sees his plating work simply as the “taxonomy of bits of paper” and after a lifetime of plant taxonomy finds it a fairly straightforward and fascinating hobby.

Book release – Nixon Small Queens - February 2012
The British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS) Ltd. is pleased to announce the release of Ted Nixon’s Canada 1870-1897 Small Queen Issue.
Canada 1870-1897 Small Queen Issue, by Nixon, J. Edward. 148 pages, 8.5 x 11, spiral bound, 2012. BNAPS Exhibit Series #64. ISBN: 978-1-897391-97-6 (Colour), 978-1-897391-98-3 (B&W). Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h923.64.1 (Colour) - $C64.00; B4h923.64 (Black & White) - $C39.95
Ted Nixon’s Canada 1870-1897 Small Queen Issue, the 64th volume in the BNAPS Exhibit Series, is the first to illustrate the wide variety of Small Queen material, probably the most collected area of 19th Century Canadian philately. The exhibit was developed in the 1980s and 1990s with displays at national shows in Canada and several international shows, culminating in a gold medal at PHILEXFRANCE, Paris in 1999. It received Gold and the Reserve Grand Award at ROYAL-2001-ROYALE in Montreal, Large Gold and Grand Award Traditional at the Interamerican Exhibition in Bogota, Colombia in 2007. At the BNAPEX 2009 SEAWAYPEX convention in Kingston, Ontario the exhibit received the BNAPEX Novice and Horace Harrison Grand Awards. This was followed by Gold at the Festival Internazionale della Filatelia, Rome, Italy in 2009 and Gold at ORAPEX 2011 in Ottawa. Ted then decided that it was time for the material to be shared with other collectors in the form of this volume in the BNAPS Exhibit Series. The collection is being auctioned on 10 March 2012 by Eastern Auctions Ltd.
Ted Nixon began collecting stamps at an early age under the watchful eye of his grandfather, a member and exhibitor at North Toronto Stamp Club shows in the 1950s. Ted’s active collecting and buying began after he finished university when he was mentored by the late Jim Sissons. Having received his grandfather’s collection of Canada and British Commonwealth, Ted began to focus on early Canada and Queen Victorian Bermuda. His emphasis on Canada’s Small Queen issue began with a specialized collection of the Two Cent value which was exhibited first in 1978. This material was quickly acquired by Bill Simpson to add to the latter’s first gold medal Small Queen exhibit. In November 1980, at the Stanley Gibbons sale of Bill Simpson’s Small Queens, Ted decided to embrace the whole Small Queen issue. Purchases from that sale have remained with him and appear in this book.
The major research initiative on printing plates undertaken at the National Archives in 1991 encouraged Ted to again work with Bill Simpson, who was building a new Small Queen exhibit, and to develop a comprehensive article on the Small Queen printing plates for use by all specialized collectors, printed in BNA Topics in 1999. This exhibit serves to illustrate that article.

New from BNAPS: Canadian slogan cancellation book reprints and Half Cent Small Queen plating book.
BNAPS is pleased to announce the reprinting of two Canadian slogan cancellation books and a new two-volume Ken Kershaw plating book on the Half Cent Small Queen.
BNAPS is also pleased to advise that as of November 2011 its Book Department has assumed responsibility for the reprinting and distributing, through Ian Kimmerly Stamps, of Cecil Coutts’ two Canadian slogan cancellation books.
The Handbook of Air Mail Slogan Cancels of Canada (Second Edition – Updated November 2011), 2012 by Cecil Coutts. 62 pages, 8.5 × 11, spiral bound, 2011. ISBN: 978-1-897391-90-7. Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h389.3 - $C29.95
The Handbook of Air Mail Slogan Cancels of Canada was originally published in 1990. As a result of continuing work by members of the Slogan Study Group of BNAPS, a Second Edition was published in 1999 by Cecil Coutts and the late Daniel G. Rosenblat. The new update includes a separate eight page section of additions and corrections to the Second Edition, followed by the complete Second Edition reproduced from electronic scans of an original 1999 copy. Previous purchasers of the Second Edition of the Air Mail slogan catalogue can obtain a PDF file of the update by email from the author at

Slogan Postmarks of Canada, by Coutts, Cecil, 2012 reprint of the original 2007 catalogue, 328 pages, 8.5 × 11, spiral bound, 2011. ISBN: 978-0-9680225-2-8. Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h051 - $C52.95
Beginning in 1987, research by the Slogan Study Group of the British North America Philatelic Society Ltd. was based on official post office documentation and proof impressions that certainly gave the work credibility. The efforts of this Group culminated in the release in 1996 of the first edition of Slogan Postmarks of Canada, a compilation of all slogan cancellation including those relating to air mail. This was followed by Supplement Number One in 1999 and the Second Edition in 2002. The Third Edition, published in 2007, went out of print without fully satisfying demand, leading to this BNAPS reprint which includes among the listings 165 post-2007 updates of specific slogan cancellations. Previous purchasers of the 2007 Third Edition of the full Slogan catalogue can obtain a PDF file containing the post-2007 updates by email from the author at .
Cec Coutts, a retired Superintendent of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, has been a member of BNAPS since 1978. In addition to his slogan cancel work he is Secretary/Treasurer of the Pacific Northwest Regional Group of BNAPS.
