Retail Booklets
In the run up to the 2012 London Olympics / Paralympics, the Royal Mail issued a series of six (6) different retail books.
As well as the usual 4 x 1st Class Machin stamps associated with their Retail Books, they also contained two different previously released London 2012 Olympic Games stamps. The difference being that the Retail Book stamps are all self-adhesive, whereas, when previuosly released the Olympic sports stamps were water activated.
