This is a long way of saying, congratulations Bill, I'm very glad that you are up and around again.
Best regards ... Tim.

Whew! When I saw the title I feared the worst.
I'm glad to hear he's doing ok. Although it begs the question of succession planning. I hope he's given this some thought (for 30 years hence of course!)
Bill Steiner should be the first signatory on the Roll of Regular Philatelists, an award I just thought up. He's done more for the "average collector" than anyone I can think of.

The subject gave me a scare. Maybe I should subscribe this year. I did subscribe back in 2002.

I haven't used any of the Steiner album pages. What I would like to know is the layout of the pages - especially US and Canada. I'm concerned about recent self adhesive se-tenant issues. Scott assumes that we all collect mint so the spaces are for blocks and strips and sometimes the entire sheet. For used singles one must try to reconstruct the block and or sheet. Also can the pages be modified? Thanks!

You can also go to Steiner's web site. He has a sample there that you can download and print.

Steiner's stamp spaces are tight meaning a stamp with a mount sometimes will touch/cover the border.
Steiner provides US pages for free so here is an example of the 2016 pages.

That's wonderful customer service, and another reason why we should support Bill for all the years he has been doing this for collectors!

in all my years of reading, and hearing, comments about Steiner pages, I have heard zero, zilch, nada, none, oeuf, goose eggs negative things. i don't know anyone who doesn't like them nor anyone who regrets having subscribed.
i have heard only good things about the pages, and now I'm hearing nice things about Bill himself.
That is a rarity of immense magnitude.
i have gone out of my way to buy used collections mounted on Steiner pages, and have never been sorry.

I want to thank you for the help and suggestions. I took a look at the US 2016 pages and I see that the same problem exists, at least for me. All se-tenant issues are set up in pairs, blocks or complete panes. I see that making modifications would require changing almost every page. Plus adding additional pages for the imperfs and imperf between pairs and blocks. HE Harris supplements come close to being designed for the used US collector.
I'll have to look at editing software to see just how hard it would be to remove the block frames and replace with 4 single frames. etc.

Tad, there was a recent discussion here telling exactly how to do that. All you're doing is converting a .pdf file to an editable file, and then making the edits that you need.
Here is the link to that discussion:

I am a big fan of Bill Steiner's Album Pages. I have had a subscription with him for several years now. A few weeks back I needed to renew my subscription and did so. I got a nice email back from Bill's wife saying that he hadn't been well and he would get to my membership subscription when he was able to. He had not been well. This was all fine. I went to check out my membership on his stampalbums.com website today and my renewal had been processed.
This is a long way of saying, congratulations Bill, I'm very glad that you are up and around again.
Best regards ... Tim.
