This is the latest press release (15th April) by the Deutsche Philatelisten-Jugend e. V., brought to us by Axel Brockmann, the editorial office of Junge Sammler.
The IBRA World Stamp Exhibition will take place from May 25 to 28 at Messe Essen. To ensure that as many young collectors as possible find their way to Essen, the magazine presents many great reasons to visit the World Stamp Exhibition. Not only the participants in the Youth Meeting of the DPhJ or the German exhibitors of the Youth Class will enjoy the days full of offers in Essen. The magazine is also an invitation to the Ruhr metropolis Essen for the readers of the youth magazine.
Have you brought your friends to Essen? Then you have good reason to win the IBRA game. The game is in the new issue of Junge Sammler. The popular Young Collector Quiz and the selection of the most beautiful music and aviation stamps invite you to participate. Reports from the national rings show activities from Munich to Berlin.
Those who prefer to read will find entertaining articles on the film Avatar, the postal newspaper service and the fight against malaria. An article on a new stamp issue from the Channel Islands takes you around the world in 80 days. And the new boy collector poster with two cuddly cute kittens should also find a place in the room – eye candy not only for stamp fans.
Unfortunately, the German Philatelic Youth mourns the loss of the head of its office. Gaby Lennartz also belonged to the editorial team and was always a helpful contact person for the readers and interested parties of the magazine.

A new book by Tomas Bjäringer RDP Hon. FRPSL and Mårten Sundberg FRPSL has been recently published by the Royal Philatelic Society London (RPSL). We read from the RPSL webpage:
This work tells the stories of the rare têtebêches of the oval issue of Finland 1856–1858, rarities which are highly prized by philatelists the world over. Appreciation of these rarities arose at a relatively late date, but amongst the former and present owners are many of the most acclaimed collectors in the history of philately including Agathon Fabergé, Philippe de Ferrari, Arthur Hind, Théodore Champion, Alfred F. Lichtenstein, Alfred H. Caspary, Alphonse Mayer von Rothschild, HM King Carol II, Maurice Burrus, Leo Linder, Rolf Gummesson, Hiroyuki Kanai, Christian Sundman, Gustaf Douglas, Luis Alemany Indarte and William H. Gross (all depicted on the back cover). Collections of classic Finland with tête-bêches have been awarded Grand Prix at international exhibitions on eight occasions.
Each of the sixty-eight recorded tête-bêche items is presented with a comprehensive biography including provenance. Four previously unlisted items have been added, but more thrilling is the story of the items that have been dismissed from previous listings. With the help of Leo Linder’s reference archive earlier recorded items that obviously were fakes are detected.
One hundred and four owners are presented in short biographies. One chapter deals with collectors who reportedly owned tête-bêches, but the relevant individual items could not be identified. Reprints and forgeries of tête-bêches are described, as well as reconstructions of large tête-bêche blocks. Agathon Fabergé claimed to know that all unused tête-bêche blocks came from the same source, and that a dealer divided full sheets that he had bought. The book presents a chain of circumstantial evidence that suggests who this dealer was.
