Lesson 3

Back-of-the-Book

Back of the Book material got its name because the items are listed in the popular stamp catalogs in the “back of the book” after the regular postage stamps. Back of the Book material includes popular postage stamps like Special Delivery, postage due and Airmail, and also non-postage stamps like tax (revenue) stamps, hunting stamps, and even non-governmental adhesives like Christmas Seals!
