The Booklet of Pooh arrived this morning, the date of issue. One thing that is now confirmed is that the font used on the booklet is not the same as is used on contemporary Christmas and Definitive booklets.
In the picture below, the top booklet shows the pre-October 2016 style. The "4 X" is thicker on the Pooh booklet but still has the closed '4" rather than the open "4" of the last two designs; the "1st" is almost identical.
This was replaced by the one with rounded lettering below, in October 2016.
The November 2025 Queen Victoria (1d black) booklet had the text in a new format again.

The definitive booklets with this font appeared gradually in spring of this year with an official distribution in March. This change was ignored when the Winnie The Pooh booklet was produced.
