During the "Fête du Timbre" show last week-end, Beryllium Guy bought a small stockbook full of a variety of stamps. After picking what he wanted from it, he is letting me have a go at it for trade material. Here are some maps-on-stamps I found in there that peaked my interest:  |

Sometimes you get pleasant surprises. I was reorganizing my African covers, making use of the album I bought at the stamp show a couple of weeks back, and, when handling a 1995 Egyptian cover that my mother had gotten for me during a trip to Cairo, I discovered that there were a few mint stamps tucked in the envelope, which I had not noticed in those nearly 25 years! Among these were the following two issues for the 50 th anniversary of the Arab League and showing a map of the member countries:  |
