Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Published in 1975 by Minkus Publications, The Complete Guide to Stamp Collecting is a comprehensive and highly accessible introduction to philately, written for beginners while remaining useful to advanced collectors. Prescott H. Thorp, one of the most respected mid-20th-century American philatelic writers, covers the full scope of stamp collecting, from postal history and stamp design to paper types, perforations, cancellations, albums, catalogs, and valuation. The book is generously illustrated throughout with black-and-white images of historic stamps, postal documents, and early postal systems, and includes chapters on international stamps, stamp societies, and the philatelic press. Particularly notable is its cultural framing of stamp collecting as an educational and lifelong pursuit, reinforced by contemporary endorsements and quotations from Franklin D. Roosevelt and Arthur E. Summerfield. This copy is clean and complete, presenting as a well-preserved example of a classic Minkus reference title. A solid, visually engaging resource for collectors, postal historians, and anyone interested in the golden era of American stamp collecting.…
