Post an image of the cover of the "Stamp Book" and a first page of any country

And we can get an idea of the state of the collection, and whether it is pennies or pounds

@andy2006
Thanks Andy,
common stamps, featured in a professional stock book.
Most appear well looked after, some with missing teeth etc.
Please don't be offended with my opinion, as that is all it is.
I would suggest a price around $5 to $15 depending on the marketing.
In my small town recently, 2 large carboard boxes were donated, approx 12 albums
and a file of mint Nauru covers and stamps.
I was putting $3 to $17 on each album (Cheap Chinese stock books)
and naturally was offered to buy the lot, I passed.
They appeared in the charity shop, and fetched $100 for the lot in 3 days.
I regularly swap stamps with colleagues, and send 1000 to 5000 stamps for free
it cost me $37 +$4 packaging to send to the US and North America
Good Luck

Common, cheap stamps, with no commercial value. Give them to the children to play with.

It’s sometimes a bit uncomfortable to disappoint, but the fellas are right. Actually the stockbook might sell for as much as the stamps. Try a local stamp club and offer it to the members for $10-20 - no shipping that way. There are many stamp clubs in the UK - you’re very lucky.
OR
You could consider starting to collect! If the stamps caught your interest, maybe you’ve caught the stamp bug! It’s a great winter hobby, too. Give it a try.

andy20066 - I think you misunderstood my comment. I did not suggest free shipping. I suggested that you hand carry the album when you attend a local stamp club meeting because selling it face to face with other collectors would mean that you wouldn’t need to package and ship the stockbook.
