Successful Stampshow

Another exciting American Philatelic Society Stampshow took place in August in Sacramento, Calif. Photos from the show and the ceremonies hosted there are included in this month's newsletter. Attendance was spectacular and we all enjoyed chatting with visitors who stopped by the Amos Hobby Publishing booth during the show.

In this month's newsletter, we also look at the new U.S. stamps expected for September, a long-standing German stamp series, and commemorations for the historic Timberline Lodge in Oregon.

Enjoy!
