I'm looking to update one or two volumes of the printed Scott catalog for 2024. (Not the full set.)
It looks like the regular go-to online dealers are asking $115 per volume, plus shipping and sales tax.
I haven't been able to find any less expensive source.
Can anyone recommend a supplier? And please just send me a private message if you'd rather not publicize it on here.
Thanks in advance!

I have purchased items from Brooklyn Gallery many times going as far back as the 1990s. No issues.

Brooklyn is solid and reliable and if you select USPS shipping they even use stamps!

You can also just buy the pages for a country you are interested in from scottcataloguepages.com/ From this web site you can buy the most recent Scott catalog for any country you collect. It is a great way to keep current on the countries you collect and in the long run a whole lot less money spent on catalogs and more money on what you collect. |

nick2302 , yes! the pages for Switzerland, Thailand, and Trinidad & Tobago just arrived yesterday. I will save my Swiss collection for value checking for the last as that is my largest country collection. I also have a lot of Swiss stamps to mount into the albums. I split my two binders into one for regular issues and the second is for BoB. I did purchase a volume 3 as it was worth it to purchase that one. I paid $99.99 through Amos Advantage doing the pre-order deal.

Cheaper to get a 2024 when the 2025 comes out. I am sure the OP does not want to wait.

Well, I don't usually make it a practice to post a question and then not get back to the board for a week, but that's what happened this time. My apologies for having to step away. Work and reality intruded for more time than I had hoped.
I very much appreciate all the suggestions, and particularly appreciate people taking the time to reply.
To reference this scene from the Big Bang Theory:
"I'd like to do the math." I'll report back.
