Retail Booklets
Retail booklets have floated in an out of fashion as time has passed. Their format changes according to fashion, too.
Generally available from outlets other than Post Offices, they come in forms of four or six stamp booklets - usually of First Class definitive stamps as shown here.
The changes can occur on the advertising on them or reason for the issue. For example, the First Day Cover shown here features the booklet that followed on from the Action for Species 4 (Mammals) stamps. With two commemorative stamps plus four Machin definitives, they are more interesting than the normal.
Price: First Day Cover: £7.00 Mint Booklet: Cost price + £1.00 handling fee
Paralympic Games Retail Booklet: Issue Date: 27th July 2010
Being released in conjuction with the second set of 10 stamps in the Olympic and Paralympic Games series. This retail booklet features the Paralympic Games Rowing stamp and the Paralympic Games Table Tennis stamp. A vividly striking product.
Mammals Retail Booklet: Issue Date: 15th June 2010
Now again, Royal Mail feel the need to extend the sale of certain stamps - the Design Classics was one in point, and the Mammals issue of 13th April looks like it might be another. This Retail Booklet features two of the stamps from the Action for Species 4 (Mammals) and again, will be prepared on First Day Covers for collectors. They look rather sweet, don't they!!
