Fun and Profit in Stamp Collecting

A collection of stories by Herman (Pat) Herst, Jr. about the stamp market and how the prices of stamps have been affected by various events. Herst gives advice on collecting stamps, such as "There is no substitute for knowledge," "Beware of pitfalls," "Cash in on Fads," and "Don't be a slave to the catalog." The book was first published in 1962. This fifth edition, published by Linn's in 1988, was the first revised edition.
