This site is intended not for fools, but for people who are, in
the
nicest sense of the word, ignorant about stamps. Whether this is
because
the hobby is new to you, or you are not a collector at all but just
need
some information or explanation.
Don't be insulted !
Even experienced collectors have gaps in their knowledge, and this
is becoming the case more as larger numbers of collectors specialise in
narrower areas.
The whole site is intended to inform and explain. It is meant to be easy to follow, but there is no intention of over-simplification.
We are open to suggestion. If there is something you would like
to
know about, suggest
it
to us. We promise nothing, but will certainly give any proposals
some
consideration.
