Having just celebrated, or rather survived, another birthday, it struck me that I've been dealing in stamps for no less than 52 years, the first five years part-time and thereafter on a full-time basis. Surprisingly, I have never lost the love for stamps and their pertinent history and geography, and I know most of you feel the same. We all meet non-stamp collectors in our normal daily lives who tend to think that we are slightly barmy. In fact over the years, to avoid peculiar looks, we learn not mention it in company at all. Philately seems to be almost a cult-following. You either love 'em or hate 'em I guess. This time we have added a few covers from French Indian Settlements and Inini and also a few more Indo-China postcards etc. Also photographed herein, some lovely stamps from Camerouns, Oceanics, Kwangchow (used), TAAF and Belgian Congo. A grand collection of  MILLESIMES  has come to light which may prove of interest. They have always intrigued me and I know that our collectors in France have quite a penchant for them. It is now the start of the Stamp-Collecting "season" and I hope every one of you finds something to add, in these pages this month. Regards to all,   Terry Garcia
