Worldwide booklet checklist progress

I've made progress on a checklist of worldwide moisture-activated
booklets, just as deep as Scott major number. I have SEIs Alaouites -
Angra, alphabetically, done. This essentially just means Algeria, French
Andorra, and Angola -- can't find the others offering booklets.

Anyone want to help with this cataloging task (Scott catalogue PDFs help
with this)? Anyone know of, or want to help organize, a worldwide
booklets study unit, or at least a wiki? Anyone ever been through the
process of trying to license Scott numbers for use in a private catalogue
or website (my own experience is cease-and-desist letters)?

And finally: any suggestions for catalogues covering those three
countries' booklets in more depth?

Er, that's SIEs -- "Stamp Issuing Entities". Sorry.

For private usage, without any capital exchanging hands, Scott
"licensing" may be possible with a simple well-written letter.

If some mere mortal as I can get permission to use obscure Belgian O,
P, Q and PP (yes, PeePee) numbers - oops, forgot M's, then just about
anyone can. They will be deeply embedded in my railroad related
database.

Yvert "may" be good for the French related. Afinsa "may" be good for
the Portuguese related.

Has anyone else tried with other publishers? I am going to try
C.O.B., Balasse (dealers) and a few others down the road.

Self Exploding Implements?

Tracy,

the problem with established catalogue publishers is that they don't want
their (copy-righted?) numbering system to be used nor do they want to
change anything even though new research has been made and has shown that
changes are necessary .

To take the Dutch booklets as an example, I don't particularly like the
NVPH nor de Rooy's handling of booklets as in some respects they are not
state of the art.

I'm working out a survey of my own and publish in on the internet., All
remarks are welcome:

So, we both see 2 problems he loss of copyright control or the
publisher looking bad. No doubt they attempt some damage control when
a real issue arises, but when the competition is outshining them they
need to excel or call it quits.

To take the Dutch booklets as an example, I don't particularly like the

Cool. If it's posted out there, someone may use it. This leads to
alternative methods of thinking.

A fellow collector pointed me to http://www.booklets.nl/index.asp -- a
wondrous playhouse for the booklet collector! I thought I would share
the link. Among other features, they offer a new issue service that they
claim provides many booklets that many other services disregard or
otherwise miss.
