This book is especially great for novice stamp collectors like myself. Its information on how to find, buy, sell and preserve stamps makes getting started in the hobby easy. Its comprehensive, color section that details every stamp to date (along with the Scott numbering system) makes identification simple. A must for serious and just-for-fun collectors alike!

This book is very, very useful. It has information about selling your stamps, how to remove them from paper (or if they are stuck together) and more. It even has a listing of both Stamp Clubs and Organizations all around the world and it includes there addresses as well...I like this book also because you do not have to know that SCOTT CATALOG # to find the value of your stamp. All you have to do is go to the illustrated area where it shows pictures of the stamps, look for your stamp and then it will tell you the catalog number to look for and you just flip a few pages, scroll down until you find the catalog number and wham...you have the value of your stamp right there.

I've been using this book for years. It has great color pictures of practically every stamp for quick identification. I especially like the fact that despite its small size, it still has a great wealth of information such as; watermarks, types, grading, practically everything you need to know when looking up U.S. stamps. All varities are mentioned with the Scott #'s even the revenue, hunting, Hawaiin and first day covers too! A great little book!
