New Look for Gibbons Stamp Monthly

Gibbons Stamp Monthly, the best-selling, most widely-read and longest-running philatelic publication, has undergone a transformation for the September 2010 edition, with a striking new cover design and page layout.

London, United Kingdom, August 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Gibbons Stamp Monthly first hit the market in 1890, as ‘Stanley Gibbons Monthly Journal’ and has undergone several changes during its long history; Reader demand saw the publication being produced more frequently with the introduction of Gibbons Stamp Weekly from January 1905 before ceasing production during the ‘Great War’.

Re-launched in 1919 as ‘The Monthly Circular’, it reverted back to ‘The Monthly Journal’ in 1923.

In October 1927, ‘Gibbons Stamp Monthly’ was born.

1988 saw Hugh Jefferies taking over as Editor; 22 years on and Hugh is still producing quality content enjoyed by more than 54,000 readers worldwide.

September 2010 marks another chapter in the magazine’s long history, with a cleaner design and easier to read page layout, with coloured indexing for ease of reference.

The September edition features a bumper 198 pages, with a special feature on ‘Owls on Stamps’ and its long running success has been acknowledged by WHSmith; The September edition will be one of their ‘feature publications’ in stores over the next 4 weeks.

Present Editor, Hugh Jefferies said, “Every so often a ‘revamp’ is undoubtedly necessary. To be a featured publication within WHSmith’s stores nationwide is a great achievement for the magazine and a testament to the strength of stamp collecting. We are delighted.”
