Catalogues

1. Can anybody recommend any really good English language catalogues
for German stamps?

2. Can anybody recommend any really good catalogues that deal with
New Zealand stamps?

Thanks,

I believe that I read where Michel has a specialised German (in
English). Otherwise you're stuck (stuck being very important) with
either Scott or Gibbons. Nah, just go ahead and get the Michel - even
if you have to get it in German.

I have a Michel in German and can basically say good night in the language.
It is full colour, nicely laid out and the guide for English speakers makes
it easily accessible. After all it is a catalogue - you don't need a lot of
vocab or grammer to use a catalogue. I would recommend Michel. BTW I use it
in tandem with my Scott as everyone around here uses Scott numbering.

Patrick:

For die-hard NZ collectors, several of my NZ collector
friends have recommended the Campbell Patterson
NZ Stamp Catalogue. Campbell Patterson is the most
detailed NZ stampcatalogue.
http://www.cpnzstamps.co.nz/index.asp?page=catalogue

If you do not need the detail then Stanley Gibbons
is your next best choice.

Gibbons Part 1 British Commonwealth Countries J -Z 2002

Or

[Note: The Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth Catalogue
will be printed in one volume to 1952. From 1952 to date.
After 1952 Countries will be issued separately in loose
leaf 4 ring system.]

Gibbons NEW STYLE Part 1 1840 - 1952 New 2004 EDITION Sept 14
Gibbons British Empire Vol 1 Asia, Australasia and the Pacific
1840 - 1952
http://www.veratrinder.co.uk/

================================================== ====

For Germany, if you want detail, get Michel in German.
There is a multi language glossary of philatelic terms
and I bought a paperback German-English dictionary for
when I got stuck. Different volumes are available,
