This review is from: Krause-Minkus Standard Catalog of U.S. Stamps 2000 (Krause-Minkus Standard Catalog of Us Stamps, 3rd ed) (Paperback)

Every stamp is pictured (in B&W) and had a short history of the stamp, some just a sentence or two and some a paragraph or two. The informative part is very good.

The stamp values were based on buying the stamp at retail from a dealer. It included what a dealer would charge for handling, therefore the minimum value for one stamp was 20 cents. About 80% of the stamps in the book were valued at 20 cents. For example, the H make-up stamp which you could buy new for a penny last year is listed with a value of 20 cents used!

I have had people who want to buy my stamps but I have no idea if their offers are reasonable or not. I still don't know but I do know 20 cents each for even very common stamps would be a pipe dream.
