"Forever Stamps is a visually stunning cultural celebration of the United States, told by the beautiful and unique stamps issued by the United States Postal Service. Traditionally, stamp collecting books and catalogs feature either newly printed stamps or focus on the most rare and valuable collectible, but for the first time this book looks at the breadth of US stamp history and how stamps help tell the story of the United States. This book showcases the beauty and pop culture influence of the tiny pieces of art we mail around the world in a way never seen before"-- Provided by publisher
