I attached pictures of a couple of pages of the 41 so you could get an
idea of what they look like. I will be putting an additional 5 (for a total of 6) books of
stamps/FDCs over the next couple of days with a total of 197 additional
pages. The complete total of pages I'm selling is 238. Let me know if
you would be interested in more than one book and perhaps we could put
together some kind of volume deal. I certainly would combine shipping.
Email with any questions.
