The Stamp Collector by Stanley Currie Johnson Pdf
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.

Stamp Collecting as a Pastime by Edward J. Nankivell Pdf
"Stamp Collecting as a Pastime" by Edward J. Nankivell Edward James Nankivell was a respected member of the Institute of Journalists in London and an avid early stamp collector. Stamp collecting was a relatively new hobby and was not taken seriously at all by the people until this book. In it, he describes the charm of the hobby. The international nature and appeal, the rarities of stamps, how they're little works of art, and what collectors look for are just a few of the themes discussed in this text to help educate and entice readers to start collecting for themselves.

Every Stamp Tells a Story by Cheryl Ganz Pdf
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.

Stamp Collecting as a Pastime (Classic Reprint) by Edward J. Nankivell Pdf
Excerpt from Stamp Collecting as a Pastime The following pages will afford a peep behind the scenes, and explain how it is that, after nearly half a century of existence, stamp collecting has never been more popular than it is to-day. And perchance many a tired worker in search of a hobby may be persuaded that of all the relaxations that are open to him none is more attractive or more satisfying than stamp collecting. Its literature is more abundant than that devoted to any other-hobby. Its votaries are to be found in every city and town of the civilised world. Govern ments and statesmen recognise, unsolicited, the claims of stamp collecting - the power, the influence, and the wealth that it commands. From a mere schoolboy pastime it has steadily developed into an engrossing hobby for the leisured and the busy of all classes and all ranks of life, from the monarch on his throne to the errand boy in the merchant's office. In the competition of modern life it is recognisedthat those who must work must also play. The physician assures us that the man who allows himself no relaxation, no recreation, loses his energy, and ages earlier than the man who judiciously alternates work and play. As stamp collecting may be indulged in by all ages, and at all seasons, it is becoming more and more the favourite indoor relaxation with brain-workers. It may be taken up or laid down at any time, and at any stage. Its cost may be limited to shillings or pounds, and it may be made a pleasant pursuit or an engrossing study, or it may even be diverted into money-making purposes. So absorbing is the hobby that in stamp circles there is a saying, Once a stamp collector, always a stamp collector.
