Entertaining tales of stamp wheeling and dealing

I enjoy Mr. Datz's anecdotes of the stamp trade in his many books. This book concentrates on stories, without the practical stamp-collecting information to be found in some of his other books. He's a great story teller and has met some truly unusual folks in his travels. Great light reading!

A Must Read for the Collecting Enthusiast

People who are expert on stamps aren't necessarily the greatest writers in the world. Stephen Datz is a nice exception. His book, though hardly a Pulitzer Prize winner, is a must of sorts for those collectors who go to shows and have always pined to either sell stamps of their own, or go into that business, or just know more about what it takes to make stamp world spin. Datz writes with humor and an infectious enthusiasm. The book is kinda short, and you are certainly sorry to have it end. I read TOP DOLLAR PAID some years ago, and have reread a couple of times since. I recommend that one too. (If you are not a collector and have stumbled across this book...for you I would NOT recommend it. This is really for people who know and love stamp collecting.)
