Picture Postcard Annual

We are not publishing a 2025 edition of Picture Postcard Annual as we focus on Picture Postcard Magic. However, the 2024 edition of is still fresh if you haven't got one.

Diary dates will be published monthly in PPM, and the January 2025 issue will contain dates of major fairs for the whole year.

The 2024 edition features dealer, fair organiser and auction house listing, club contact details and information, early posting dates and auction records. It also provides lots of feature articles on various postcard collecting subjects, including Tuck Heraldic postcards, the River Thames, First World War air aces, Singer sewing machines, Lawson Wood, postcard buskers, Mary Quant and the Swingin' Sixties, Sheep-sheering, Diabolo and lots more. The Annual is profusely illustrated.

Back numbers, going back to 1980, are marvellous sources of fascinating articles and well worth getting hold of. All can be ordered by clicking on the 'Picture Postcard Annuals' link under the 'Books' section of this page.
