Philatelic Appreciation

I am a member of a site called PaperbackSwap, where you can sign up and exchange books. It is pretty swell if you like to read and don’t mind used books or going to the post office.

Anyway, today I got a book in the mail, which is not very mentionable. But before I tossed out the packaging, I noticed that there were some really neat stamps on it. Not just that, but older, very random stamps from the early 1980s (1980 and 1984 Olympics!). Since the value never changes, just postal rates, they are just as usable. But I thought it’d be a pity to just toss them. So I scanned them for everyone else to enjoy.

PS. Philately is the study and collecting of revenue and postage stamps
PPS. If you sign up for PaperbackSwap, put me down as a reference, so i can get a free book, k thanks.
