I have a couple of collections that include booklets, such as QEII Silver Jubilee, Diana and Charles wedding, etc. I've seen the booklets affixed by corner mounts onto the album page.

Here's a couple of booklets from my collection.
I collect stamps from Greenland, and they have many booklets. Here is one of the pages I created for my Greenland collection. The front cover display is a photocopy of the actual front cover reduced in size to fit on the page and mounted in a showgard mount.
I also topically collect the 75th Anniversary of the UPU. Here are the pages I created for displaying the booklet from Israel. I scanned the back side of each booklet page and added the scan as text on the page for each item.

Terry, those are nice examples, but do I take it that you separate the sleeves and stamps? or have I got that wrong?

One needs to consider the value of the individual panes in relation to the entire booklet when deciding how best to display. For the Greenland booklets, most have the sum of the individual panes equal to the booklet price (each pane catalog value = $12.50 and entire booklet catalog price = $25.00). However, the Israel booklet has total catalog value for two panes = $12.00 and the entire booklet catalog pice = $20.00.
You will notice that the Greenland booklet is mounted intact. If the stamp panes were torn out of the booklet, you would no longer have the "booklet".
However, The Israel booklet can be easily "exploded" to display each of the individual pages. If I take all of the pages and add a new staple, I again have the entire booklet.
Sometimes I find that I will buy two booklets, so I can mount and display them front and back, or inside and out.
Hope that helps explain my decisions on how I choose to display my booklets.
Cheers,
Terry

When I view your album pages and stamps,
I just want to go and trash my entire collection
- stamps, pages and album covers.

I have many booklets in my collection and I separate the ones I want to mount in my albums. I know that a complete booklet is probably more valuable, but I want to be able to see the booklet pane. I mount the cover right along side or above the booklet pane. I have heard of people throwing the covers in the trash, but I think that is a big mistake. Some cover actually have references to the serial #'s of the stamps inside and bringing them back together at some point might be just as valuable as the entire booklet. Depends on the stamp. Here is example of the pages I create for my booklets:

I pretty much agree with all of the above. It really depends on the quantity you are thinking of displaying and your purpose. I have an intact booklet and an exploded booklet where I was trying to demonstrate the QI series of stamps. If I had a LOT of booklets, I would likely contemplate something other than Showguard Mounts on album pages. My first though would be currency pages. They hold three notes per page, have 3-ring-binder holes, and may be a good fit for booklets. That's just a guess.

Thank you for your ideas, I will let you know how I end up doing it when I have decided.
Thanks again

Terry, I really like the way in which you mounted the Greenland booklet. However, how do you mount booklets which when "open" to display the stamp pane(s) inside become larger than either the height or width of the album page?
I am thinking that it would be necessary to "explode" the booklet and then mount both the pane(s) and cover separately.
Thanks,

Hi all, wanna pick your brains, I have recently obtained quite a few booklets of stamps from Guyana and have no idea how to go about mounting, displaying or storing such items, this is the first time I have ever had any booklets in my collection. Any ideas will be most welcome.
thank you
