The first GB booklet was issued on 16th March 1904.
http://www.members.aol.com/zohanic/refedvii/ba1.jpg

It contained 4 panes of 6 x 1d stamps (printed by De La Rue)
making a total face value of 2/-. The booklet of stamps was
sold at 2s 0½d - a premium of ½d to cover the cost of
production. It was a requirement that the stamps should
always be upright when the booklet was opened and
the binding margin should always be at the left hand side.
To accomodate this, the booklet sheet was printed with four
columns of panes, the second and fourth of which was printed
upside down. This meant that the stamps from these columns
were deliberately printed with an inverted watermark. This
was the first time that this had be done so intentionally.

Booklet BA2
http://www.members.aol.com/zohanic/refedvii/ba2.jpg
http://www.members.aol.com/zohanic/refedvii/andxdlr.jpg
It was decided that 2/- was a more convenient price for the
booklet and so the face value of the booklet contents was
reduced to 1s 11½d. The contents were changed to 2 panes
of 6 x 1d stamps, 3 panes of 6 x ½d stamps and one pane
containing 5 x ½d stamps with a green St Andrew's Cross
printed in place of the 6th stamp.

I've had a quick nosey through Stanley Gibbons and the
earliest New Zealand stamp booklet was issued on 1st
April 1901. It contained copies of the "Penny Universal"
stamp.

in several months need wonder no longer: I haven't had access
to my web pages for several months due to my old computer
blowing up. I hope to start work on them some time in the
next few weeks)

My 1990 Gibbons lists a booklet pane (#303b, Scott 108f) issued 1902
August 21, nothing in 1901.
