Which country issued the world's first official book of stamps and
when? It was not the UK.

Il you mean "catalog" when you say "book of stamps", I think it was
written by Alfred Potiquet and published in 1861.

No, I mean a book(let) containing actual postage stamps as distinct
from their being issued in sheet or coil form. In other words, which
country claims to have been the first to sell stamps in the form of a
booklet? Britain's first official book of stamps was issued in March
1904 so this is our centenary year. I know we weren't the first
country to do this and would like to know which country claims the
distinction. Does anybody know?

Hello Douglas,

It is not France : our first booklet was issued on 19 Nov. 1906

The link below indicates that Luxembourg was the first country to issue
booklets (1895).

For those who are interested, the first booklet issued in Canada was in
1900. It was the booklet version of the 2¢Carmine, Queen Victoria issue. A
very rare item.
