Showing items in Stamps and Covers - Dominica
Postage stamps, booklets, flight, censored and maritime mail and philatelic covers of Dominica for sale.
There seem to be very few collectors who specialise in Dominica philately. Fortunately there are a growing band who collect stamps of the Leeward Islands and thus include Dominica.
Only one good handbook has been written so far on Dominica philately. Victor Toegs Dominica. Postal history, stamps and postal stationery to 1935 is an up to date work and recommended. Volume two is awaited which will cover the so far neglected areas of postmarks and censorship.
Post and packing is extra but does not increase however many items are ordered. Inland £1, Europe £1.50 and Overseas £2
