[BAC · Rating 4 out of 5]

An engaging and sometimes humorous look inside the world of stamp dealing and collecting during the 1980's philatelic boom. From people expecting to be sitting on a gold mine to stamps held in albums by jam jar labels, Datz tells his stories of crossing state after state in the love for stamps.

Well written and open, Datz brings his professionalism and upbeat personality to readers. There's not much one can review about this kind of writing, really. Just trust me that it's worth the time for any collector.
