The July 2011 issue of American Philatelist (from the APS) has a great column by Ada Prill identifying some of the more popular U.S. Stamp Series and their common names.

The article is available as a free PDF download from this direct-download link:
http://www.stamps.org/AP/Basics0711.pdf

Or the parent webpage and "Back to Basics" link can be found here:
http://www.stamps.org/Services/ser_TAP.htm

It's a great article for those new to US Stamps and even us "old hands" will find it enjoyable.

Thanks Kirk,

An excellent article, I never knew that the denominations of the Presidents stamps corresponded to the number of the president in question.
