Since the advent of the first U.S. postage stamp in 1847, stamps have become a part of the American landscape, providing a window into the individuals, achievements, and beauty of this great nation. This book gives a behind-the-scenes look at how some of the more colorful, creative, and controversial stamps were produced. Stories include political influence; famous movie stars and sports figures; design challenges that occasionally resulted in law suits, national news stories and denunciation from the Senate floor; customers suggestions; overcoming creative differences when partnering with major film and retail firms; little known stories of stamps that never saw the light of day due to family disputes, money issues, or creative differences; and negotiations with foreign postal administrations.
