Focus on forgeries: A guide to forgeries of common stamps

From the Introduction of the second edition of this 330 page book, Mr. Tyler writes: "All of the information provided in the Introduction to the first edition of this book is still valid. This volume now includes 321 of the Focus on Forgeries features. The first edition sold out completely in both hardcover and softcover editions. Consequently, it was decided that all of the features, both old and new, should appear in this revised edition. Having all of them in alphabetical order in one place will also facilitate use. As a result of my fortnightly feature, which appears in 'Linn's Stamp News', as well as an increasing number of excellent studies in specialized philatelic journals, the collection of forgeries has become both an accepted and popular part of stamp collecting. If you, too, enjoy the thrill of the hunt and wish to avoid the disappointment felt when the forgery you purchased turns out to be genuine, I believe this volume will be helpful to you." Stamps from dozens of countries are featured in a side-by-side comparison of the forgery and the genuine.
