Featured Titles

Starting with this issue of the newsletter we are adding a new section to the Beyond the Scott Catalog page called Feature Titles. In this section we will feature titles that have proved popular with students in the past. Most of these titles are either out of print, have been recently revised and offered as a new edition, a one of a kind item, or have been forgotten amid the weight of new titles that seem to be coming out every month. Please order from this page as they will not be listed on the Philatelic Literature page (page number 18). You can order by phone (toll-free: 877/696-8403), or email: jim@jameslee.com.
