Torbjorn posted three Poland books today(?) and I picked up 10 stamps that I've been looking for for a while plus two interesting sets of imperforates. The stamps were not really expensive or rare but they don't show up very often. Thanks very much for posting the books since I am now complete from 1954 to my 1985 cut off. The early stuff contains many stamps that are probably going to end up being repros if I ever find them but counting the back of book material including General Government and offices in other areas in my Minkus album I am only missing about 85 stamps. Not bad but I'll probably never be complete since some of the early stuff is pricey. Thanks Torbjorn for your help!!!
EDIT: I should say that my Poland collection is not of huge value due to the fact that about half of the later material is CTO. But it is a collection I enjoy looking at because of the beauty of the material. It is hugely different from my very serious Canada and US collections but it is still important to me because of the time it has taken to accumulate!
I would also like to send Dennis a huge thank you for the interesting Cuba (sorry, Ecuador) books he offered lately! It's hard to remember sometimes which Country I've just bought! D'Oh

Will you show us your scans of your collection?

@1898 I really don't have the facility to do that since I don't have scans to show. Also you have said in the past that you find collections that just consist of stamps on a page to be not terribly interesting and would probably just bore you. Also the collection is about 300 pages long. I will get a friend to scan a few of the more interesting pages and post them next week! My computer is very old and sensitive and contains files I really don't want to jeopardize at this point since they are very important to a book I am working on. Eventually I will take this computer off line and just use it for my book. When I get a few other things taken care of I will invest in a new system and a good scanner. Until that point large numbers of scans are unlikely!
