Originally this was purchased for my dad, then I purchased a copy for myself. I found that stamps I have from just a year or two ago are worth double the face value. I was about to use them for my mailings and add the additional postage, until I realized their value. The book is easy to use, easy to read and very well laid out. I would recommend this for anyone who collects stamps or for a gift to any stamp collector.

The size of the book means enables me to carry this in my purse when I go to antique stores and look at old postcards/letters and find my treasure.

This is a great little book and it was at an even better price. Any Stamp collector or re-seller should have this little book.

I recommend it highly.

Very helpful. I buy bulk lots of stamps and this book has helped me find several stamps that I didn't know were valuable.
