A good beginner's book


With 16 million philatelists in the United States alone, stamp collecting ranks among the world's most popular hobbies. American stamps reflect our national heritage, heroes, and achievements, and a stamp collection is like a miniature art gallery--a private museum that you can hold in your hands!

Best of all, it's not expensive or difficult to assemble a collection, and it has never been easier than now.

This kit contains everything you need to begin your collection: an album, arranged chronologically according to date of issue, with room for more than 1,000 stamps; a guide booklet that explains how to build and maintain the collection; a catalog, listing hundreds of historic stamps available for purchase; a magnifying glass; adhesive hinges for mounting stamps; and a starter pack of 25 authentic U.S. stamps.

Retail price is $19.95. Click here to order from Amazon.com for $13.57.
