1. The synopsis says that Scott is the only anually published worldwide stamp catalog. There are at least 3 more Michel in German, Yvert and tellier in French, and Stanley Gibbons in English. I would rate Stanley gibbons and Michel much higher. they give more details, and more information. For American Stamps Scott is the best though. if you collect British Colonies, you will need Stanley Gibbons. To compare the four, you have to look at a country like Afghanistan, and there you will see that the amount of information from Gibbons and Michel is much greater. They will be harder to buy though.

1. Every stamp is pictured (in B&W) and had a short history of the stamp, some just a sentence or two and some a paragraph or two. The informative part is very good.

   The stamp values were based on buying the stamp at retail from a dealer. It included what a dealer would charge for handling, therefore the minimum value for one stamp was 20 cents. About 80% of the stamps in the book were valued at 20 cents. For example, the H make-up stamp which you could buy new for a penny last year is listed with a value of 20 cents used!

   I have had people who want to buy my stamps but I have no idea if their offers are reasonable or not. I still don't know but I do know 20 cents each for even very common stamps would be a pipe dream.
