Recommended Book - Caring for your Stamp Collection






















This is a good book for those who is serious with their stamps collection, especially if you are collecting mint stamps. This book issued by Australia Post - Archives Section Australia Post Philatelic Group, many years ago. Revised edition 1994, ISBN 0-642-19829-2.

To care for your collection, primarily knowledge is to understand the different type of papers used in printing stamps, printing methods, ink used in printing, storage, and very important is the agents of deterioration. It also provides practical advice and guidelines on caring your valuable collections and walk you through on the production of Australian stamps and archival collection.

I am not sure this book is still available or any new edition being plan for release. Anyway, the ISBN number maybe helpful if you wish to look for this book in the library.
