The World Encyclopedia of Stamps and Stamp collecting 2 Nov 2006

By A. Taylor - Published on Amazon.com

It wasn't exactly what I'd been looking for. I really wanted more detail on international stamps and their prices.

Excellent for Beginners and Old-Timers 28 Aug 2010

By Stephanie Grassi - Published on Amazon.com

I purchased this book for my 8-year-old son, who was just starting to collect stamps. He thoroughly enjoyed the book and I read it with him. Even though I have been collecting off and on since 1976, I found this book enjoyable and refreshing. It brought back to mind some of the basics and my son was encouraged when I showed him easier ways to accomplish some of his tasks. Recently, he has decided to wait until he is little older to collect stamps because he is not organized enough to give the hobby the time and commitment required. He is helping me keep my collection up to date instead, mostly because I collect mint never hinged (MNH) stamps and he was collecting used stamps. He thinks my collection looks better than his. But I have been getting him some MNH stamps and putting them to the side for the future. This book is very factual and entertaining to read. It is not a dry or boring textbook type of read. Everyone who is a stamp collector or philatelist should have this book in their reference library, young or old, beginner or mature collector. Enjoy the read!!
