Hello;
In the past 3 three or so years a Franklin Roosevelt replica stamp album was released and I cannot find my saved link to it. It was released by a major publishing house and I spent one night looking and reading for an hour or more. One version has the pleated pull out pages- They are post attached but have a special triple folds on thick Manilla paper, that He invented so one can gently pull or extend the page outward to look at. That is the one I remember from oh so many years ago; it must have been printed before. The other version is called sewn and I am not sure how that page works. I want to find out where the replica is published and by whom. Does anyone have that information? Thank you.

Interesting question, from the classic photos of FDR it appears he collected in a very large sized springback album. Certainly nothing that Scott produced at the time, I wonder if he used a Schaubeck (doubtful under the circumstances...) or a Stanley Gibbons? I have no info on a re-print however, though it sounds like something Mystic would have done.

From the photos, they look like linen-hinged pages in a leather-bound springback. He could, of course, have had the springbacks custom-made.

I find it interesting that in the photos of FDR I've seen, he is often holding a stamp with his hand, not using tongs. Which of course would not be seen as acceptable today. Were tongs not widely used during that period?

Thank you all for replies

I found an Elbe reproduction but there is another - somewhere-
Thank you. I will search Schaubeck and Stanley Gibbons.
