Update: CILP Cinderella Stamps Catalogue

CILP's forthcoming comprehensive catalogue is at the final stages of preparation and due to enter its proof reading stage next month. 

We are excited about publishing it as soon as possible, but our original publication date of 10 November 2025 to coincide with our fifteen anniversary, has been pushed back to 8 December 2025. This is due to the additional stamps scheduled to be released in the last quarter of the year, and we wanted to include all the details of these extra issues in the catalogue.

It will make an ideal addition to any cinderella stamps collector's library and an easy gift for family or friends to buy as it will be available on Amazon for Christmas!
