In the NL stamps is between the Type=Boekje, 1 item which is also a Prestige booklet. I also understand that a Prestige Booklet is a special kind of Booklet, but:

  1. Why only this prestige booklet and not all prestige booklets?
  2. If you double-mark all prestige booklets, what is the distinctive character of 'Booklet'?

I could not find any specific indications in this area in the Handbook. postmaster and I, witness the history, disagree here. I am willing to assume that exactly one prestige booklet must also be a booklet if someone can make the above plausible to me. I could also use some clarification in the manual.

Tiens, I thought that 'Prestige booklet' was an exclusive invention of the Netherlands (one of many to cheat collectors of money).
I notice that, according to LD, Belgium also has ... #1747973 and #3069233

It is clear that there should be a Dutch interpretation of 'Prestige Booklet' and that this 'Species' should be awarded less lavishly.

There is a 'Books' section. Why should something like this be included in the 'Stamps' section ... there are many books and magazines that once included a stamp image, a philatelic object or even a real stamp.
The NVPH catalog, for example, includes a philatelic item every year. The blueprint. Then the NVPH with blueprint would also belong in the stamp section?
The OBP (except edition 2022) ... NA sheet ...
Can they then be included twice, or must they be marked in the category books with 'WRONG SECTION -> Stamps'.

Conversely: every 'booklet' or 'prestige booklet' where only the front is depicted in the stamp catalog ... then it is about the BOOKje, right? And there is a section to house books and booklets ...

I think 'booklet' usually means a 'folder'. A binder is a kind of mini booklet containing stamps or related items. With a description of the stamps and/or background information regarding the theme.
There are also folders and books that describe stamps, and the background, without the items (stamps in question) being present.

The Belgian Post publishes a yearbook every year. You can put the stamps of that year in it. A kind of DAVO illustrated collecting. But in book form.
Does the 'cover' of such a book also belong as an item in the stamp catalogue? A lot of prestige, and very luxurious. With transparent clamping strips in which the stamps can be placed. Also sold filled by bPost. Then the stamps are already in it and you have no work at all.
Then the magazines 'DAVO Illustrated Collecting' also belong somewhere in the stamp section, don't they?

According to LD, what is 'Mapje', 'Booklet', 'Prestige booklet', 'Integrated hanging booklet', 'Hang booklet', 'Hanging packaging', ...
For some, the definition could start with 'A typical Dutch phenomenon within the philately of Joh. ...'.
A bit like the 'W envelopes'. Those who are not familiar with Dutch fringe philately do not understand it.

Personally, I think portbetaald has a point. If you provide a special type for one country, you must be consistent and only assign that type. Especially for the side business (cardboard philately, manufacturing, commercially inspired philately products, ...

An alternative is a new field 'Subtype Netherlands'. Then those things can get the normal "kind" that any collector on LD, wherever they live, can understand.

Or, depending on country, include the many special species as Type in the drop-down list. 'Not adopted Designs' (Belgium) eg as a species.
Or Blueprint as a species. Oh yes, it is provided. Is something from the Netherlands :)

may I? source
I read
Basic form = book
Species form = booklet
Type name = (e.g.: Prestige Booklet)
(It is disadvantageous that the booklet indicates something, but also puts it into perspective (reading the booklet, format, etc.).
ps GBR has an identical case #5301233

A stamp booklet is a booklet in small format, the contents of which can be used as postage – A prestige booklet is a booklet with extensive background information on the subject, design and technical data – Usually you also have to pay a surcharge for those booklets – On the Australian prestige booklets are also listed as “prestige collection” – You can also use the content of these booklets as postage – So it remains a booklet with the addition of prestige.

I have already submitted yearbooks from Australia a long time ago – Title Year folder and type of Year set – Without stamps such a book is really hard to find among the stamps

There are several 'points' in it. Then it is inevitable that there will be a long text about it. What I think of it as a collector, and user of LD.

1. A book in which you can put something to collect is a compilation album. There is a section 'Collective albums'. Whether pictures, cigar bands, stickers, tree leaves or stamps have to be put in ... and whether the album is completely filled up, partly filled up or empty ... it is and remains a collector's album. Something like this I don't think belongs in the stamp section.

In the section Stickers you will find the stickers. The collector's album can be found under collectors' albums.
The cigar bands can be found in the cigar bands section. The compilation album can be found under compilation albums.
The stamp section, which already received the exception for 'Series', does not need to allow further exceptions. Books (eg paper catalogues) and compilation albums in place.
Obviously, the stamp section is very active and popular. But that's no reason to put everything that has an image with teeth on it, or that contains the title 'Stamps', in that section.

2. Anyone who adds an item in the stamp section places the emphasis themselves by means of the image(s). If you only show an image of the front cover of such a book(s). What does that have to do with postage stamps? Because it says in the details 'Contains stamps'? I have quite a few things here that contain 'Stamps' :)
To my knowledge there is not a single stamp catalog (that respects itself) that mentions collector albums (eg the yearbooks of bPost or PostNL, DAVO preprint albums, illustrated or not ...).
Stamp catalogs clearly state the 'year sets' with their catalog value (only the stamps!). An excuse to provide 'Year Series' in addition to 'Series'? Will be quite a picture for certain countries in the more recent years lol

3. There are of course things made and published (in large numbers) that balance on the edge. Prestige booklets is such a fringe case.
The emphasis is still on the stamps (some, which are related to each other), around which packaging was fantasized.
But look carefully at form and content: it is a folder containing text, images, and some stamps. Has nothing to do with a 'booklet' (philatelic).
And it is certainly not a book, nor a compilation album.
It is one of the many types of creation of commerce. And it even got its own specific 'Kind' on LD. What a luxury.

4. Booklet, in philately, is an issue of a number of adhering franking stamps of the same issue (series). Sometimes with a cardboard 'protection' around it. There are no lengthy historically justified explanatory texts.
- The aim was/is to offer something for use of the content: the franking stamps.
- The price is in principle the franking price of the stamps that are part of it. to make.
- They are/were equally offered and sold in post offices, in addition to stamps, sheets and blocks, to have mail franked.
That is not the case for prestige booklets, I think.
Booklets, philatelistically speaking, are always included in a self-respecting catalogue.

'Prestige booklet' or 'W-envelopes' are commercial names invented in ...
Prestige booklet is a folder as far as I'm concerned. Just like you have the folders of a stamp issue (series). No more, no less.
W envelopes are FDC as far as I'm concerned. Cover, stamp(s) and cancellation on the day of issue of the stamps on it.
The names are, as it were, 'subspecies', but that field does not exist on LD in the stamp section. That is not a reason to combine species.

Both 'subspecies' should disappear as far as I'm concerned. And the items must have the real appropriate 'Kind'.

In any case: prestige book now has the advantage of having its own kind on LD. One kind that covers the load. Don't assign two to cover the disadvantage of one's own kind. Choosing is losing.
(remember : as a collector and as a user of LD!).

If the type is deleted, the 'Folder' becomes 'Folder' , and not a 'Booklet'.

Or the main species should disappear, and the hundreds of possible subspecies should be included in their place. Look per country to see what the commerce has come up with as a 'subspecies'. For all countries, for all possible names, for all possible manufacturing work. Try to imagine it: mission impossible!

Isn't this just a book, so it belongs in the Books section?
Or is this a stamp that looks like a book?

Is there something wrong with Schipper53's account? If I click on the link from your message Collectioneur  I get account 86203 'This account has been deleted.'.
Fortunately, Schipper53 is still there :)

I think  schipper53 also meant it to be a book and not a postage stamp.
I think this is something for the 'Collective Albums' section.
Like #4231547, which well in place.

I'm not familiar with these items, so here's a question.
Are these books (albums) in which something can be collected or are they books with stamp prints?

The wrong link to schipper53 has been reported.

At the moment, those Yearbooks of Dutch postage stamps (2003 to 2021) can be found in both the stamps and books section. The underlying reason may have been that these books are available with and without stamps.

And do you also think that they should be in 'Collective albums', and not with stamps?
The stamps that should be included in the stamp section.
In addition, in the stamp section it is then a ' series' of single and combinations (stamps, booklets, blocks, sheets).
And by 'booklets' I do mean the philatelic booklets that are included in stamp catalogs. No books nor folders :)

An Album to put in Cigar bands like #2828607 eg I don't see it directly included in the category cigar bands either.
Why are they accepted in the stamp category then ...
Is this an exception made especially for the stamp category (as we also have the serial items as exception)?

It is an album in which you can put stamps, until the collection is complete (for a certain year or a certain theme).

Collectioneur 
The stamps that must be in it are of course pre-printed at the place where they should be . With a transparent clamping strip for neat and safe storage.
All pre-print albums are made in this way (DAVO, Shaubeck, Leuchtturm, Safe, ...).

In the example above of such a collection album for cigar bands, those cigar bands are also pre-printed, to make it clear which band should go where.

I think this is also the case with sticker collector albums.

Collectioneur

1. Didn't find anything in the handbook... I'm going to dust off my bPost yearbooks and add them. Sometimes I get one of these, stuffed, for my New Year. The stamps go in DAVO. The books in a heap in the closet. Turns out those books are also stamps.
The type 'Booklet' already exists.

2. I may mark items as 'WRONG SECTION -> Stamps' in 'Collection albums', 'Books', ... if they have been released with 'something' that belongs to the stamp category? Fortunately I still remember for each OBP catalog (book) whether or not there was an N/A sheet. And of each NVPH (book) whether or not a blueprint was included with the purchase. Perhaps the Yvert also occasionally had something that is / may be listed as 'philatelic' under stamps ...
They can be placed in the stamp section with the type 'Booklet'.
I presume that the compilation albums with cigar bands may also be marked with 'WRONG SECTION -> Cigar bands'? And these with stickers ... or collectible cards ...

3. There is no description, only a tradition. It doesn't say anywhere that it has to be a 'book'. A stamp box is equivalent to me (no discrimination :)). There are many stamp boxes, issued by many commercial firms around the world. I even think of Joh. Enschede. Luxurious (lots of Prestige and blingbling) finished with pages with stamps on it, text in between, and drawings. With also mostly special cards, First Day cards, FDC, special envelopes, whole sheets ... Usually it is a mess, but it used to sell well.
A photo of the front of such a box is quickly made. The item was also added quickly.
Year does not have to be entered (because the content sometimes spans years). That's no problem. Only hang somewhere on an existing issue so that they are also seen when someone requests something.
Type 'Box' does not exist, but 'Other' will be fine.

4. Folders are also just as good. DAVO Collecting Illustrated ... those sheets are of the same type as the yearbooks. Glossy paper, lots of text and images, the occasional crystal to store a stamp.
The WWF albums with stamps, FDCs and maximum cards. The albums of the special collections of the United Nations (Flags of the World, IYOC (int. year of the children), ...).
The 'Edel' collections (perhaps hundreds of books with pages and here and there a stamp or a philatelic craft in it).
The kind of 'folder' already exists. Handy.

5. The special DAVO books (those are really books) à la 'Spare the trees' ...
Another one for the 'Booklet' type.

With the above I just want to show that it's time to outgrow the small scale, and put things where they should be placed.
Collection albums at collection albums. Why an extra exception for the stamp section (again).
If not: see '2.' For all categories!

"LD goes international". But outside the Netherlands (and Belgium because we are such good neighbours) a user sometimes doesn't understand much (he can't believe his eyes sometimes).

What causes a lot of confusion is the fact that the Stamps section has actually been used from the start as a theme section "Philately".

The same problem arose with "Strips", but they soon arrived at this the realization that a clean layout by object is best for the entire catalog. Since then, work has been steadily underway to slim down the section to just comic books.
All peripheral products, such as posters, ex-libris and picture books have already largely been transferred, only the comic magazines still have to be moved to magazines/newspapers.

If it is decided that the Stamps section may only concern postage stamps , then hopefully it will become clear to everyone that Lastdodo is much more than a collection of loose catalogs for the convenience of specialist collectors.
At that point it will also be no problem to themecollections (such as "philately ") by e.g. giving users the option to combine different (sub)sections at their own discretion in a "MyLD" with a personal selection.

stripspeldjes ,

Ultimately we have to get there, but we have to come up with solutions along the way so that we don't lose information.

With Comics, for example, another problem is that if you transfer the comic magazines to magazines, you lose the link with series. Then you can no longer see all magazines in which the series appears for a certain series in Comics.

The same problem also occurs with certain parts of Stamps. For example, in an issue you can now see the FDC. You may lose it if you place FDCs in a different category.
Those are things we have to solve first.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have duplications in the catalog already. .
So #1747973 should not be used with stamps because it is already in the relevant series at Comics and it fits better there than with Stamps me.
