Linn's Stamp Identifier by Donna O'Keefe (2004, Paperback, Revised)

I purchased two of these books, one for me and one for my 11 y/o grandson. This review is based on how he and I, his grandmother will benefit by using it. First, the spiral binding is both durable and easy to lay flat or fold back for easy use.

Next, I find the printing in this book is clear and it's large pictures definitive. There will be no mistaking a stamp because of a too small picture. All pictures are accompanied by it's Scott number, a tremendous plus for a serious collector.

Finally, I find the table of contents easy to follow as will my grandson. I appreciate the effort used to leave no part of philately ummentioned. Now I can understand the terminology used in catelogues and other stamp literature including "Cinderella's."

I highly recommend Linn's Stamp Identifier for all beginner and intermediate collectors who are interested in deepening their knowledge of stamp identification and vocabulary.
