   Good old Stanley Gibbons is the best place to start in the UK   
      
   http://www.stanleygibbons.com/shop/   
      
   They have a vast range of Albums from nice but cheap starter albums to   
   multi-volume single country sets.   
      
   The Avon Ring Fitting Album is a nice starter for a general collection.   
      
   You then need to decide if your going to use simple stamp hinges or the more   
   expensive mounts.   
      
   Also nip down to your local Newsagent and get a couple of magazines: "Gibbons   
   Stamp Monthly" and "Stamp Magazine".   
      
   Cheers
