OF WHAT SUBJECTS WOULD THE STAMP ALBUM SOCIETY WISH TO PUBLISH?
Biographies of publishers, editors and designers are most welcome.

Albums from any country are ripe for your research effort. New novel stamp album designs are also welcome.
IS THE STAMP ALBUM SOCIETY A PUBLISHING HOUSE?
Yes. THE STAMP ALBUM SOCIETY will publish works that it sees fit to advance the general knowledge of stamp albums, their creation, their variety and use. It has also established THE STAMP ALBUM HALL OF FAME and STAMP ALBUM OF THE YEAR award citations. Your nominations are welcome. It also seeks a permanent library and exhibit facility.
DOES THE STAMP ALBUM SOCIETY PAY WRITERS?
All writers are paid according to the contract that is agreed to by the author and by THE STAMP ALBUM SOCIETY. The greater the sponsorship of THE STAMP ALBUM SOCIETY and the higher the creativity and originality of the author, the higher the author's compensation. We will promote authors.
