Published quarterly, The Bulletin is the international news source for collectors of a wide range of postage stamps known a ‘meters’. This includes prints from the traditional postage meter as well as more modern additions of Computer Vended Postage, the ATM and Personal (Custom) Postage.

The Summer 2025 edition of The Bulletin was published in two parts and contains a total of 130 pages.

Occasionally we will offer select articles to be read online. For whole number 348 we would like to feature the articles on Giraffes and Owens Corning.
