Book 2 - 1961 - 1972


The second book in the series is now under peer review. Hoing for publication by the end of 2024.

It covers the reign of H. H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Ali Al Thani which ended just after Qatar's Independence.

This was one of the most bountiful years of Qatar's philatelic history. It also led to many variations, errors, and possibly forgeries. I will document as much as possible.



I have made a few blogs highlighting some of the pertinent items that will be covered in Book 2:

1 - On the 24th of January 2022 I blogged on the name of the sea surrounding Qatar:



2 - A blog posted on the 26th of August 2021 I mentioned the Gulf Currency Agreement:



3 - On the 14th of August 2021 I introduced the Black Blot program as its effect on regional philately:



4 - I have also spoken about a controversial stamp issue that was banned (25th September 2021):




5 - The start of aviation in Qatar was also addressed on the 28th of September 2021:



Well, these are just some of the topics that will be covered to a greater extent in Book 2.
