I received a few books recently, one of which is the 'Bicycle Stamps" book. I got it yesterday and I read it today.   It is not particularly long, being 140 pages, but half of it is illustrations and is also 23 years out of date.  I got it sent to me from the USA and is an ex library book from the East Cleveland Library.  There is a lot of info in it, like the world's first bicycle stamp was issued from Cuba in 1896. Now I know what to look for.  It seems hard to believe that the first bicycle stamp did not come from some European spot. They invented the bicycle 80 yar earlier.  He suggests there were 1200 bicycle stamps at the time of writing.  My research says that is now up to 1610. So I have another 1500 to go.   

The Status International people might help as I had my first successful bid with them yesterday for a box of stamps that weighs four kilos. That must be a lot of stamps.
