A Philatelic Ramble Through Chemistry

Anyone have this book? I just got my copy in the mail today (not cheap). I came on here looking for help and ideas to sell my Dad's stamp collection, which I am doing, but while reading, I became fascinated with how much science is in stamps. It is amazing (most of you probably know better than I).

Ove the past 2 months, I've been buying science stamps worldwide. I have US, Swedish, Great Britain, French and Niger. The US is kind of weak in it. The Swedish have made some really, really nice stamps honoring some great people. If you've read the book or collect science related stamps, point me to some really good stamps. I'm going to crack this book this weekend.

If you want stamps that depict scientists you have to check out Russia/Soviet starting in the 1930's through the 1950's. Loaded with them.

Hopefully this book will point to some of them.

There are earlier threads on chemistry here if you care to search.
