I am a member of the ATA (American Topical Association), and I think that "Topical Time", the bi-monthly journal of the ATA, has the most interesting philatelic articles.

I just received the July-August 2008 issue, and there is a really interesting article about Thomas John Watson, Sr., founder of I.B.M. There are stamps and meters and corner cards for this type of collection.

Intersting reading!
