Book Description
Every stamp and piece of mail tells a story. In fact, each often tells multiple stories, ranging from concept to art design to production to usage, often with tales of politics, history, technology, biography, genealogy, economics, geography, disaster, and triumph. The lens of philately offers a fresh and engaging story of American history, culture, and identity, and it can also help deepen the understanding of world cultures. The William H. Gross Stamp Gallery, opened at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in September 2013, has many such stories to tell. Chief philately curator Cheryl R. Ganz guides readers through some of the gallery's nearly 20,000 objects that together illustrate the history of our nation's postal operations and postage stamps.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Stamp Collector: A Guide to the World's Postage Stamps Stamp collecting was an unknown hobby to two generations ago, yet its present followers may be counted by hundreds of thousands. In no period of its existence has it been so popular as to-day, partly because the War led many people to seek solace from its pursuit and partly because the national outlook has grown more world-wide than heretofore. In recent years, the collector has indulged in philately with more method and science than was his former wont so that now there is a demand for information and guidance greater than has ever been evinced before. To supply these needs has been our mission in writing the pages which follow. But our scheme may be explained at greater length. First, we have endeavoured to state the merits of stamp collecting; then we have attempted to impart to our readers some of the enthusiasm which we, ourselves, possess for this Royal pastime and this has been followed by a full recital of the numerous pitfalls which beset philately and the philatelist. In this hobby of ours, there is so much that can be collected and so much that ought not to be collected that very definite guidance is necessary for those who are not practised hands. Such guidance, we believe, will be found herein. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
