A MUST for any serious collector of US!

Excellent, detailed descriptions on the hard to identify Bank Note issues, Washington Franklin issues and Press Waste stamps. Scott has valued stamps on the grade of "Very Fine" for the past several issue of the Scott catalogs. Although grading of stamps is very subjective, there are references included to show what classifies as "Very Fine". Most collections do not have "Very Fine" stamps, especially in the early issues. Scott should give some consideration to also giving values of stamps with less than "Very Fine" centering.The minimum value for stamps has been changed to 20¢, which is not really an accurate reflection of the market, but can be used as a guideline.Even with a few faults, this is still the most informative book on US stamps available. It is not too confusing and even a novice can use the references to accurately identify their stamps.
