A sober guide to real life as a stamp dealer

I really enjoyed this book. It covers nearly all aspects of stamp dealing: owning a shop, doing mail sales, auctions, and bourses - although the omission of Internet trading is a minus. The foreword by the legendary Herman 'Pat' Herst is effusive but accurate. Mosiondz is a US dealer with a very sober, down-to-earth approach. He makes it abundantly clear that if you intend to make a living in stamps, you should realize that it requires attention to the same business basics as any other field - and he goes into a lot of detail. His bottom line: success will surely come, but only to the dedicated, disciplined professional. Much of the wisdom in this book is valid around the world and would apply equally to trading in many different collectibles. As someone who has dabbled in stamp dealing, I would recommend this book to anyone. It's good know-how at a bargain price.

Worth reading book.

This book is previewing the real life of a stamp dealer. The book provides useful info to any stamp collector which couldn't find it anywhere else.
