Special delivery from the United States Postal Service--The definitive guide to every U.S. stamp issued from 1847 to the present
The only fully illustrated, four-color guide to U.S. stamps, this official publication provides the most comprehensive information available about the U.S. stamp program and its vivid history. Commencing with the first stamps released in 1847, The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps includes every stamp issued up to the present--nearly 4,000 entries--as well as:
- Coverage of every category of U.S. stamp--definitive commemorative, airmail, special delivery, duck stamps, stamped envelopes, and more--all organized into easy-to-use, color-coded sections for quick access
- Detailed listings for each stamp, with color illustrations, Scott catalog numbers, descriptions, dates of issue, used and unused prices, quantities issued (when known) and separate listings for design variations
- A complete guide to the new 2000 commemorative stamp program
- How to get started collecting, with everything you need to know--from advice on assessing the condition and value of your stamps to organizing, displaying, and preserving your collection
- A resource section listing philatelic organizations, publications, museums, and official philatelic centers in every state
- A glossary of important terms
- And much more!

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
