Just a quick, but important reminder for Journal submission dates. Our Editor, Martin Oakes, has chosen the following date as the deadline for article submissions to the Journal:
TNCP #45, January 2013, submission deadline: March 16, 2014
If you are interested in submitting an article please contact our Editor, Martin Oakes as soon as possible.
 The “TNCP Style Sheet – Instructions to Authors” has been updated, so please download a revised copy before starting to author an article.
Remember there are many options for Journal content and Martin will be happy to discuss them with you. Recent issues of the Journal have been 20 pages. This is due to the wonderful amount of content that members have been submitting. The added pages will continue, as long as there is sufficient material available. Remember if you have feedback, please be sure to share with Martin or use the general contact form.
We are still waiting to hear from any members who have been able to visit the new The William H. Gross Stamp Gallery at the Smithsonian Postal Museum in Washington DC. Please consider to write an article about your visit.
Issues 42 contained a fascinating in-depth article about the Gronchi Rosa Forgeries that was originally in Italian, and published by another philatelic journal. As the Society is international in scope, we have various members that can sometimes volunteer translation resources. For those of you that have non-english articles and would like to see them translated and published in The New CartoPhilatelist please contact our Editor Martin Oakes.

After a discussion with the Officers, the Forum and CPS Exchange pages have been removed. Unfortunately the Forum was not largely used and became difficult to manage due to spam posts. The CPS Exchange was dormant for a number of years and did not take off as was hoped. If you are interested in participating in an online philatelic community, please have a look at these two, very fine forum sites: Stampboards, a very active, large and well established site, and also Stamp Exchange, a newer and increasingly active forum. Please note that the CPS is not endorsing either of this forums, but only wanting to pass along this information to our members. There have also been updates to the base software which runs our site. Please use the contact form if you are having problems or any questions about our site.

The 43rd issue of the Society’s Journal, The New CartoPhilatelist, is filled with 20 pages of articles, news and images. Starting out this issue, are meteorologists Don Hillger and Garry Toth who take a look at The Earth as Seen from Space. Their detailed article traces the history of geostationary earth observation satellites and various full disk earth images as they are shown on a number of stamp issues. Be sure to check the author’s web site for a very comprehensive checklist of related issues. Continue reading TNCP 43 Dispatched to Members
As many of our members know, we use HP’s MagCloud “print on demand” service for printing of the hardcopy TNCP journals. Recently we began investigating the use of MagCloud to also handle the packaging and shipping of those journals to our members. The shipping, to some members, of the October issue was carried out by MagCloud as a trial. While this has worked very well from initial feedback, we recently discovered that a few digital members may have received a printed October issue. We apologize to those digital members that were surprised upon receipt of a hardcopy issue. If you unexpectedly received a hardcopy issue, please keep it as an example of MagCloud’s high-quality printing service. For those members that regularly receive a printed Journal, we would like to hear if there were any issues regarding the packaging or delivery of your October issue. Please contact us with your feedback.
Revision 6 of the Maps on Stamps Checklist will be available by the end of October 2013. It will include approximately 600 new issues plus the addition of many older issues that had been overlooked and numerous corrections, additions of catalog numbers and other updates. It is expected that the printed version will be about 800 pages. The cost for a hardcopy version of the Checklist will be established after it is complete. At that time all members will be notified through the journal and on the web site. Contact Checklist Editor David Wolfersberger for more information.
