To
make life easier for myself some years ago I decided to divide
the massive range of Machins into groups. This was the best way
I could devise to figure out when and where to stop one album and
start another. Without doing this I would still be forever
moving stamps from page to page. No matter how much room one leaves
for a value that might appear in future it is either never
enough or it is another that develops into a lengthy series
quite out of the blue. (We have only recently had a 40p but
the strange 39p and 41p values occupy 14 spaces as
just singles to date!)
