Something's happening in the stamp market - prices for superb U.S. stamps are setting new records.  Now there's a book to help you pinpoint the qualitative characteristics of important U.S. stamps.  The Buyers Guide analyzes issues on a stamp-by-stamp basis, dividing information into practical, convenient sections - Scarcity, General Comments, Premium Characteristics, and Caveats - that reveal at a glance everyting you need to know.  How many times have you heard the assertion: "Very fine for issue."  The Buyers Guide provides you with the facts to assess the merits of such an assertion.

The Buyers Guide covers virtually every important U.S. stamp (more than 600) including those difficult 19th century issues.  It's all here: classics, banknotes, Columbians, Trans-Mississippis, Washington-Franklins, coils, airmails, special deliveries, and more.  A powerhouse of knowledge - the kind pros carry inside their heads and use every day - at your fingertips in a convenient, easy-to-use handbook.  A must for every buyer of premium quality U.S. stamps.
