Linn's U.S. Stamp Yearbooks - 1983 to 1987

The first five editions of Linn's U.S. Stamp Yearbook.  Clean, barely used if at all, 1987 edition is still in wrapper.  Superb resource for U.S. stamps from those years.  Each well over 200 pages of detailed information.

"In an attempt to answer the “who, what, when, where, why, and how of their existence” [Boughner, Fred. _Linn’s U.S. Stamp Yearbook_, 1983: p. 5], the first 1983 edition of the yearbook, edited by Fred Boughner, includes all 112 new U.S. stamp issues and other postal items including commemoratives, definitives, airmails, officials, embossed envelopes, postal cards, aerogrammes, and souvenir cards. Each yearbook is divided into sections under each of these headings, then subdivided further by each issue and finally listed by each new item’s date of issue.

The first page of each new issue section includes a table of complete production information and technical data for the relevant stamp or stationery item including Scott number, date of issue, FDC data, designers, engravers, modelers, printers and printing method, quantity issued, and plate data. Later editions of the yearbooks also include selvage, tagging, gum, and paper production information. Following this initial table of technical data are sections describing the development background and history of the stamp or item, its design (in some cases showing various stages of the design as well as some rejected designs), production history, first day facts, and any known varieties."  (Scott Tiffney, Mar 7, 2017 - APRL News)
