The Encyclopedia of the colors of United States postage stamps by R.H. White. While I've been primarily unsuccessful this far. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my favorite brick and mortar shop does have a copy and after a long good conversation I was told I am welcome to come in and use it anytime I want. How cool is that? I have also been lucky enough to find a copy of the durland standard plate number catalog. Jeremy Login to Like this post

Since I live in the DC area I developed the absurd plan to one day visit the Library of Congress and make copies, but its probably useless given the color plates would never come out exactly correct. But I thought about taking color swatches (e.g., Michel color guide) and matching each image on the color plates to its closest swatch. Problem is, once I get there (Library of Congress) I'll probably find that the books have long walked out the building under the arms of some thief. Login to Like this post
