American Lung Association releases 2011 Christmas Seal issues
The National design, as usual, one of last years design experiments with a new date; as well as 4 different new design experiments. Each of these 5 sheets was issued with a special occasion sheet with gift tags. There are also 2 different gift tag booklets, and 2 different gift tag sheets. It is likely that more varieties, particularly of the national design will turn up in the near future. The next issue of Seal News will have a report on these new issues.
New Catalog/ Handbook of Mexican TB Seals
Memoria De Las Estampillas De Lucha Contra La Tuberculosis, 70 Anos 1940-2010, by Alejandro Grossmann Epper, 79 numbered pages with 36 posters illustrated on 4 unnumbered pages in the front and back of the book. 8 ½ x 11” full color, soft cover, illustrating full sheets, used seals, tied ons, and some related TB material such as an early tb bond and tb lottery tickets, loads of information, written in Spanish.
This handbook, as Grossmann calls it, is a must have for any serious collector of Mexican TB seals. It has the look and feel of a high priced auction catalog. The color printing is outstanding; so much so, if you were not a collector it would negate the need to collect the seals. Every page is professionally laid out; the work of a graphic artist. The official Christmas Seal website of Mexico is located at, http://www.tbsealsmexico.org/english.htm and may be adding this book in the near future. In the meantime, the book is available from the author, Alejandro Grossmann Epper, for 20 dollars + 4.95 by Priority Mail, pay by Pay Pal to alejandro_grossmann@yahoo.com
Christmas Seal® Lantern Slide CD
I just finished making a CD using the reference collection of John Denune, Sr. containing 109 different lantern slides The CD is available for $8.95 + $2 S&H. Most lantern slides were issued each year, and are pictured in the annual sales folder since the beginning of sales folders in the 1920’s. Some have NTA publicity images, mostly from the late 20’s and early 30’s, such as NTA Publicity #204 issued in 1927. There is also a set of 16 slide show ones, which would have been done at the same time. These may have been a predecessor of the modern 35mm slide shows made by the lung association into the 1970's. It is interesting that the slide show lantern slides, made from electrotype proofs, are the same images of the Christmas Seal still used in Scott’s Catalog.

National Wildlife Federation & Christmas Stamps, Specialists Handbook, by Ira Cotton
National Wildlife Federation & Christmas stamps were issued from 1956 through 2000 to promote wildlife conservation and to raise funds for the charity. These stamps are interesting because of their colorful designs by leading wildlife artists and because of the many varieties in the sheets. Over 80 Christmas sheets and booklets are all illustrated in full color (headers and top row for sheets) and varieties are described in detail. Lists are provided for all sheets and booklets, over 400 stamps, artists, and stamp subjects.
Philatelists, conservationists, wildlife topical collectors, cinderella collectors, and anyone who loves Christmas should find this handbook appealing. The handbook is available in saddle-stitched and spiral bindings. Available form the publisher, http://www.lulu.com/shop/ira-cotton/national-wildlife-federation-christm...
