5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!, October 10, 2001

This review is from: Stamping Through Mathematics (Hardcover)
Postage stamps can represent the best of art, in a very accessible format. This book, well-done by a professional mathematician and stamp columnist, has pictures of almost 400 postage stamps depicting mathematical subjects in full color, arranged in logical groupings, and with explanatory material concerning the stamps. The publisher has done a superb job of reproducing the stamps so they look almost real, employing bright colors. The color plates are fantastic!

One need not be a mathematician to appreciate this book. Mathematics touches our lives in so many different ways. Also, this book shows how postage stamps can be used to illustrate a number of different concepts.

It will make a wonderful coffeetable book or gift, and it is fun to browse through! It is well worth the price.
