Royal Mail will issue a new retail book in early summer to support stamp retailers. The book will target retailers in seaside towns and consumers sending holiday postcards. Following suggestions from the stamp trade after the announcement of the 'Beside the Seaside' stamps in 2007, the 'Ice Cream' retail book will include two 1st class Ice Cream stamps and four 1st class gold Definitives. All stamps in the retail book will be self-adhesive.

Royal Mail will not regard this as a new issue, so there will not be an official first day cover or First Day of Issue postmarks.
Any special postmarks will be provided when they are available. As the date of issue has now been changed to coincide with the 'Cathedrals' stamps, all special handstamps available for that set can also be used on this booklet.
Technical details:
The booklets are printed by Walsall Security Print in gravure, and the
stamps are self-adhesive.
All images are Royal Mail Copyright 2007/8.
We will produce a small number of covers for this booklet.
Covers with the single Ice cream stamp may be available.
This is a scan of the actual cover and actual booklet with
the postmarks applied in a digital mock-up.
Special Postmarks
... available for the day of issue are shown here. - these may not
be to scale. These postmarks will be dated 13 May and not as
shown; examples cannot be obtained after 13th May.
