Other favorable reviewers in the philatelic press have so far recommended that you buy this book but I say no. Buy two! Think gift." – K.

Kaufmann, The American Stamp Dealer & Collector"I find Every Stamp Tells a Story an entertaining pick-me-up. Consider purchasing a copy the next time you visit the National Postal Museum in Washington, DC." – Charles Snee, Linn's Stamp News"This well-produced book provides an interesting description of the development of the United States Postal Service and the National Stamp Collection as seen through US stamps." – London Philatelist"This book can be useful for most collectors and others interested in the history of communication" – The United States Specialist
