An exciting new concept has been initiated
by the Victorian Philatelic Council in conjunction with the APF – downloadable
stamp albums.
These albums have been designed specifically for junior
collectors,
but they are also very suitable for potential
adult collectors
who would prefer an inexpensive introduction to the hobby prior to any serious
commitment.
