   Hi,   
      
   I am a(nother) middle-aged 'returnee' to amateur philately.   
      
   I am UK based and specialise in Canada: I also collect UK, Romania,   
   Australia. Needless to say I 'accumulate' anything else.   
      
   My now, year-long, come-back to collecting has, I believe, been 'spoiled'   
   because I have grown used to the excellent, full colour, full stamp   
   image-size, listed errors and varieties - all singing, all dancing, Unitrade   
   Specialised - that I use with my Canada collection. It's so good I don't   
   even notice the currency difference!   
      
   Does anything at all exist like this for the UK / Great Britain - annotated   
   in English, (French or Spanish) please?   
      
   I have several older volumes of Gibbons Specialised, which are interesting,   
   but very much the poor relation.   
      
   Failing that, is there a website that lists and shows recent British   
   varieties and errors. I am not over-bothered about pricing - or buying a new   
   Specialised just for recent commems.   
      
   Thanks in advance for any help,   
      
   Keith
