A collection of Royal Mail Special Stamps Year Books, each presented in a hardback binder with a protective slipcase. The group includes various annual volumes issued by the Royal Mail, primarily covering the period from the late 1980s through to the early 2000s. The volumes are constructed with illustrated paper-covered boards and contain mounts for the insertion of mint, perforated commemorative stamps issued within the United Kingdom. Notable inclusions are the Millennium series from 1999 and 2000, and the 2001 edition. The binders feature diverse graphic designs on the covers, including a red embossed crown design with the royal cypher EIIR, a word puzzle design for 2001, and a navy blue cloth-effect slipcase for 1986. Transcribed inscriptions from the spines and covers include ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL STAMPS 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1997, alongside ROYAL MAIL MILLENNIUM STAMPS 1999 and 2000. Several spines bear volume numbers including 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, and 19. The internal pages provide descriptive text and technical details regarding the stamp subjects, which range from nature and history to British culture.
