Philatelic Exporter review, courtesy of David Rennie (February 2010):

This remains the reference work of choice for specialists of the Europa issues. Aside from the main CEPT issues, the catalogue also includes forerunner issues, official stamps for the Council of Europe, EFTA, Helsinki Accords and NATO issues, the Scandinavia joint issues and Europe issues as well as the stamp issues celebrating 50 years of Europe Stamps.

There were sixty-three issuing authorities for the main Europa issues during 2009, (Georgia's last issue was in December 2008).

The catalogue listings follow the previous format with each year showing all the issues for that year in alphabetical order by country, and include type differences, colour and perforation varieties, FDC prices, gutter pairs, postal stationery, official souvenir sheets and special prints.

Editorially the printing figures figures have been extended, there are detail improvements to some of the captions and last but not least, some new subtypes added.

Prices have been reviewed, in what is now a much more stable market.
