« on: Friday 16 July 21 20:11 BST (UK) »
Surely Stanley gibbons company would not have omitted a whole year of stamps deliberately can someone please check somehow .

Its a beautiful boxed book with the stamps pictured in black and white to be stuck on
.cousin has only got 1 georgeV then the next page is king George v1 and queen mary ( queen mother)
Theres no sign of anyone cutting pages

Its item 3550 can't find a year but price 30/-

Not impossible to find Edward 8th stamps.  I've got some myself both used and mint.

I just checked ebay and they are on there.

30/- is going to be pre 1971.  Have you considered contacting Stanley Gibbons and asking them about it? 

https://www.stanleygibbons.com/  -  scroll down to the bottom and there is a contact us button.

Perhaps you may be able to send a photo of the front of the book and the relevant pages.

That is something I have never thought about.
Were there ever stamps for Edward The Eighth, maybe he abdicated before
any were printed?

Quite a curious anomaly.

As far as I am aware Stanley Gibbons is a British company, but they may have shops elsewhere in the world.

This is the contact stuff that was at the bottom of the page.

Contact Us
Telephone: 0207 557 4436

The shop is situated between the Savoy Hotel and the Vaudeville Theatre.
