New from BNAPS: Canadian slogan cancellation book reprints and Half Cent Small Queen plating book.

BNAPS is pleased to announce the reprinting of two Canadian slogan cancellation books and a new two-volume Ken Kershaw plating book on the Half Cent Small Queen.

BNAPS is also pleased to advise that as of November 2011 its Book Department has assumed responsibility for the reprinting and distributing, through Ian Kimmerly Stamps, of Cecil Coutts’ two Canadian slogan cancellation books.



The Handbook of Air Mail Slogan Cancels of Canada (Second Edition – Updated November 2011) The Handbook of Air Mail Slogan Cancels of Canada (Second Edition – Updated November 2011), 2012 by Cecil Coutts. 62 pages, 8.5 × 11, spiral bound, 2011. ISBN: 978-1-897391-90-7. Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h389.3 - $C29.95

The Handbook of Air Mail Slogan Cancels of Canada was originally published in 1990. As a result of continuing work by members of the Slogan Study Group of BNAPS, a Second Edition was published in 1999 by Cecil Coutts and the late Daniel G. Rosenblat. The new update includes a separate eight page section of additions and corrections to the Second Edition, followed by the complete Second Edition reproduced from electronic scans of an original 1999 copy. Previous purchasers of the Second Edition of the Air Mail slogan catalogue can obtain a PDF file of the update by email from the author at



Slogan Postmarks of Canada

Slogan Postmarks of Canada, by Coutts, Cecil, 2012 reprint of the original 2007 catalogue, 328 pages, 8.5 × 11, spiral bound, 2011. ISBN: 978-0-9680225-2-8. Published by the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS). Stock # B4h051 - $C52.95

Beginning in 1987, research by the Slogan Study Group of the British North America Philatelic Society Ltd. was based on official post office documentation and proof impressions that certainly gave the work credibility. The efforts of this Group culminated in the release in 1996 of the first edition of Slogan Postmarks of Canada, a compilation of all slogan cancellation including those relating to air mail. This was followed by Supplement Number One in 1999 and the Second Edition in 2002. The Third Edition, published in 2007, went out of print without fully satisfying demand, leading to this BNAPS reprint which includes among the listings 165 post-2007 updates of specific slogan cancellations. Previous purchasers of the 2007 Third Edition of the full Slogan catalogue can obtain a PDF file containing the post-2007 updates by email from the author at .

Cec Coutts, a retired Superintendent of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, has been a member of BNAPS since 1978. In addition to his slogan cancel work he is Secretary/Treasurer of the Pacific Northwest Regional Group of BNAPS.


The Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen, Volume I – The Left-Hand PlateThe Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen, Volume II - The Right-Hand Plate

The Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen, Volume I – The Left-Hand Plate, 2012, by Kenneth A. Kershaw. Spiral bound, 360 pages, 8.5 × 11, b&w. ISBN 978-1-897391-93-8; Stock # B4h052.1 $C 54.95

The Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen, Volume II – The Right-Hand Plate, 2012, by Kenneth A. Kershaw. Spiral bound, 314 pages, 8.5 × 11, b&w. ISBN 978-1-897391-94-5; Stock # B4h052.2 $C 50.95

In The Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen, Volume I – The Left-Hand Plate and The Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen, Volume II – The Right-Hand Plate, Ken Kershaw continues his phenomenal output of plating information and new discoveries. After books on plating Canada’s Half Cent Maple Leaf and 1898 Christmas Map stamps, he prepared six more on the Pence and Cents issues of Prince Edward Island, a two-volume set on Canada’s 5¢ Beaver, a trio on the high value stamps of the 1859 Cents issue, and a five volume set on the 3d Beaver! Now he is back with another two-volume set, this time on the Re-Entries and Varieties in the Half Cent Small Queen. The new books have been done in the style and format of his previous BNAPS books.

Ken Kershaw was born in England and became fascinated by plants at an early age. He graduated from Manchester University with a B Sc degree in Botany in 1952. After military service he went on to a Ph. D. degree working on pattern in vegetation, and was appointed lecturer in Plant Ecology at Imperial College London in 1957. He was seconded to Ahmadu Bello University in northern Nigeria for two years. On his return to Imperial College he became involved with lichen ecology, particularly in alpine and arctic areas, in addition to his work on computer modeling and data analysis. He obtained his D Sc in 1965 and was appointed Professor at McMaster University, Hamilton in 1969. His research was then devoted heavily to the ecology of the Canadian low arctic and northern boreal forest areas, and in 1982 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of several university texts.

Ken’s passion for wild plants has been transferred to Canadian philately. He sees his plating work simply as the “taxonomy of bits of paper” and after a lifetime of plant taxonomy finds it a fairly straightforward and fascinating hobby.
