re: King George VI coronation issues

Yes, there is. The simplest being a used Stanley Gibbons, "British Commonwealth Stamp Catalog,"

A better choice for the UK issues would be a SG Specialized Volume II -
"The Four Kings." SG Vol II goes into endless detail about GV V & VI issues, (ooops)
but not the Colonial Commemoratives.
Good Luck,

re: King George VI coronation issues

Do you mean the George VI Coronation issues of 1937 as there are very few stamps of the Coronation of George V?

Stanley Gibbons do a George VI catalogue that covers all British Commonwealth Issues of his reign.

re: King George VI coronation issues

My Gibbons Commonwealth & Empire catalogue is from 2012, and it goes to 1970. When did Gibbons make the change from 1952 to 1970?

re: King George VI coronation issues

My SG Commonwealth catalogue is from 1990 and includes stamps up to 1988/9.
Edit
They possibly changed the end year when they started issuing individual and region catalogues.

re: King George VI coronation issues

I made a set of album pages for the KG VI Coronation series using AlbumEasy.

They are available as a FREE download from https://www.thestampweb.com/albums/free-downloads

Scroll down to TOPICAL, THEMATIC AND OMNIBUS ISSUES. Look for "KG VI Coronation Omnibus" and click on the pdf file. The images are in full color, but to save colored ink, you can print the pages in grey scale. If you have the AlbumEasy software, you can download the txt file and make any alterations you wish.

Here are a few sample pages from my personal album with the stamps mounted in Scott/Prinz mounts.
