The Duck Stamp Story: Art, Conservation, History

The Duck Stamp Story: Art, Conservation, History by Eric Jay Dolin ISBN 087341814X. A beautifully illustrated 206 page softbound book published in 2000. "This is the most comprehensive, beautifully illustrated book ever published on the Federal Duck Stamp Program. It is much more than just a "stamp" book. The first third of the book focuses on the conservation history of the United States and the factors that led the federal government to take action to conserve dwindling populations of migratory waterfowl. Anyone interested in environmental/conservation history or the politics of wildlife protection should find this fascinating. Another third of the book focuses on the duck stamp art contest, often referred to as the "richest art competition in the world." Over twenty of the winning artists were interviewed for this section. The remainder of the book covers duck stamps and stamp collecting in depth. This includes information on grading a stamp's condition, how the stamps are produced from start to finish, stamp values, condition, and profiles of some of the great collectors. With over 300 full-color images! adding life to the text, this book is not only very interesting it is also beautiful." The book is in Like New condition
