I have published seven different books on the Canadian definitives issued since 1952. Canada has been very prolific in releasing definitive stamps over the past 60 years but very little has been written about them (except for the Centennials).

These provide the most thorough coverage of each stamp and its series ever published for these definitives.

Each book went through a dozen (or more) drafts and were seen by recognized philatelists around North America.

They also won a VERMEIL award at the APS Stampshow 97 held in Milwaukee from August 21-24, 1997.

The Centennial book won a VERMEIL award at the APS Stampshow 2001 held in Chicago from August 23-26, 2001.
