What is Stamp album?
[[File:Stamp album folder-type.JPG |thumb|<small>A loose-leafed stamp album</small>]] [[File:Chilean stamp album and catalogue, and a magnifying glass.jpg|thumb|<small>Stamp album with printed pages</small>]] A '''stamp album''' is a [[book]], often loose-leafed (with its papers not attached to the book, but hanging loose inside), in which a collection of [[postage stamp]]s may be stored and displayed. There are also stamp albums in the form of binders. Many collectors buy preprinted (already printed) albums and pages, which are made and sold. The usual format is to print a black-and-white picture of the stamp in each space. Album pages are almost always one-sided pages. Stamp hinges are used by [[stamp collector]]s to put [[postage stamp]]s onto the pages of the stamp album. ==Other websites== {{commonscat|Stamp albums}} {{wiktionary|album}} * http://stamp-paradise.com/ * http://www.thestampweb.com/ *[https://books.google.com/books?id=fooBAAAAQAAJ&q=stamp+album Postage stamp album, and catalogue of British and foreign postage stamps, 1863] *[https://books.google.com/books?id=ehztxamx3kkC&dq=stamp+album&pg=PA54 A.Golden ''Unique Handmade Books'', see Stock Book] {{stub}} [[Category:Philately]]
