Johnson is a detailed guide on the world of philately, written in the early 20th century. The text serves both as an introduction to stamp collecting and as a resource for those interested in the history and significance of postage stamps. Johnson discusses various technical terms, the process of forming a collection, and the relevance of stamps in learning geography and history. The opening of the work presents a passionate endorsement of stamp collecting, laying out the myriad educational benefits it offers, such as the development of methodical habits and an understanding of geography and history through the exploration of stamps. The initial chapters explain philatelic terminology, illustrate how to start a collection, and describe the common practices and considerations that should guide both novice and seasoned collectors alike. From the definition of basic terms like "adhesive" and "block" to the importance of preserving and categorizing stamps, Johnson effectively invites readers to appreciate the hobby's depth and intricacy.
