This review is from: The Official 2001 Blackbook Price Guide to United States Postage Stamps, 23rd Edition (Official Blackbook Price Guide to U.S. Postage Stamps) (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up this guide in order to help me identify, organize, and catalog the value of a stamp collection that belonged to my father. It was actually quite helpful - there are color pictures of US Stamps issued from 1933-1998, and the Scott # is under the picture. Just look up the Scott number in the book to find out how much the stamp is worth. One drawback of the book is that it only goes back to 1933. There are also sections that deal with Airmail stamps and US Revenue stamps, neither with color pictures, though. Overall, a cheap alternative to it's more expensive competitor's.
