A Short Introduction To The Philately Of Palestine

Cumulative Index to the BAPIP Bulletin, Part II

This is the second installment of a cumulative index to the BAPIP Bulletin, the journal of The British Association Of Palestine-Israel Philatelists, now The Holyland Philatelic Society. Having completed indexing issues 1–120 (1952–1988) myself, this page, covering issues 121–156 (1988–2007) has been prepared by the Secretary of HPS, Mr. David K. Smith. Please note that David has used the Collins/DAnesh classification, not mine. I intend to complete my own work on the index during 2009.
