To those of you who organize by country and date: I'd love to see what some of your pages look like.

To those of you who organize by country and date Is there another way to organize? I mean, there are many ways to place or layout stamps, but not really that many ways to organize in a way that doesn't make one look like an escapee from Arkham Asylum. Or are there? |

Topical collections might be organized by subject matter.
On the other hand my pages look just like Scott, Minkus, Harris and White Ace intended, although often with fewer stamps than I would like. |

It's the different layouts that I'd like to see. |

I would suggest you look into a membership in the ATA - www.americantopical.org
Another option might be to check with a local stamp club and attend meetings and/or shows

I was a biologist for awhile and if I were a topical collector of insects, mammals, birds, etc., I would probably organize them based on taxonomy rather than country and year. |

I create my own pages, I collect by year, only because I'm old school. The page below is from my Belgium collection. Colour proof and the stamp issuede in the serie. I always wait setting up pages until I have material enough else I have to rearrange to often, but it happens. I have usede MS-word to set up the page, but there is a lot of other software you can use.  |

Thanks Viking, That's a very good looking page.
I'd like to see what topical collectors are creating with all their many choices. |

Those are beautiful, and just the sort of thing I want to see.
Your penmanship is excellent. Mine, not so much. I am considering not writing any information on my pages except perhaps the year. |
