So, I started work on the 21st Century US album and needed to get US stamp sizes for 2001. I remembered that I bough the Linn's US stamp yearbooks for 2000 and 2001, but never actually looked at them.

The depth of information is amazing! I think the coolest part is the alternative designs that were rejected. It shows early prototype stamps. artists sketches and all sorts of other cool stuff. I'll try and take a picture of one of the pages and post it later today. I can't get the book on a scanner.

apastuszak,

I've heard only good things about these books, but as yet, haven't seen one. Is it true that they aren't going to publish them anymore?

True. I believe 2010 (?) was the last edition.

Oh, that's a shame. There is so much detail in these. It's amazing. Here are some pics I took with my camera phone of the 2001 Diabetes Awareness stamp.

These show alternate designs of the Diabetes Awareness stamp:
