Thanks for showing the examples which illustrate the common philatelic term. I find the booklet pane on the right quite interesting as it contains not only tete-beche stamps but also se-tenant stamps (stamps of different designs joined together side by side when printed).
Hi Terry
Robert is ill at the moment, but he has taught me over the years about the stamps he has, I'm also a member of the club he goes to, and I have also learnt a lot from them as well.
The tête-bêche on the right is from a sheet and not from a booklet as these stamps were not issued in booklet form.

Please pass along our wishes for Rob to feel well soon.
Don
Thanks, I will.
He has had heart failure since his 20s, and we found out 5 years ago that he has type 2 diabetes as well.
Sometimes he has a little trouble with his health but nothing to worry about, this time it's different, he went into hospital over a week ago because of some chest pains (he had difficulty breathing) and is still there.
Every now and then he would use my iPad to respond to some posts in hospital, but the pains came back so I am responding at his request.
I was told by the doctors not to worry as they will look after him and that he needs rest and the recurrence of pain was expected, and regardless of his illness he is a rather fit person and should be home soon. but I do worry.

A tête-bêche is a joined pair of stamps in which one is upside-down in relation to the other, produced intentionally or accidentally. Like any pair of stamps, a pair of tête-bêche can be a vertical or a horizontal pair. In the case of a pair of triangular stamps, they cannot help but be linked "head-to-tail".
