I have an older unisafe one with 6 pages and find the vinyl non stick page flimsy and sometimes stamps hold on.

I really like the Apak one with 10 pages. Sold in Canada from FVH stamps as below.

APAK STAMP DRYING BOOKS - Heavy Duty Quality better than any you have used before,

with non-stick interleaving, Re-useable, over & over again. No other brands compare.

8 1/2"  X  11 1/2", Spiral Bound, 6 Pages……………………………………..….…Our Special $ 10.95

8 1/2"  X  11 1/2", Spiral Bound, 10 Pages………………………………...……...…Our Special $19.95


It does use a non stick thin card page that literally allows the stamps to fall off after drying.

Ultimately the choice is yours or try out a couple different types.

The only thing I recommend is to let the book dry out open for the day after using it. If you use it continiously day after day, without letting it dry occassionaly, the little black mold spots will start to form and then they will have to be pulled and discarded.

Edit: Disclaimer- for the purpose of clarity since I mentioned/ posted one dealers offer I thought I should make the following known- I do not endorse any one specific dealer or stamp buisness over another. It was just for information only. Thanks.

All the pages? Even the one you put the backside of the stamps on? Usually there is a non stick interleaf on one side of all the stamp drying books that I have seen.
