Stamp yearbook
I strongly recommend buying the Stamp yearbook. Since I came to Canada, I bought the annual Stamp yearbook available in Jan. It is a collection of the whole year's stamps, (worth C$30), and it is a large book introducing the background of the theme, the history and the stories, excellent printing. It is perfect for own collection or a decent gift to friends in China.
The cost is around $40 to 45 plus 7% GST.
Check any Canada Post outlet for 2002's, or you can check their homepage.
Good luck!
