Jeff Needleman writes: I realize academics are a wee bit frugal (which is the kindest way I know to phrase it), but I thought I should point out that Linn's will be glad to send anyone a sample copy for $1.75. Write to:
Linn's Stamp News P. O. Box 29 Sidney, OH 45365
Subscriptions to Linn's are $33.00 per year; Linn's offers better rates
through promotions. Writing for a sample will put you on its mailing list for
the next discount subscription promotion. Jeff Needleman

Amos Press Inc. which also owns Linns Stamp News.. Amos bought out Scott
Publishing Co. which owns Scotts several years ago; Amos has owned Linns for
many years.
You can get a free couple of Linns by simply mailing in the postpaid card
that comes with each issue. Subscribers can write in the new of a friend and
they will receive a free copy.. For those outside the U.S., postage for first
class might be expensive unless you are willing to wait using the newspaper rate
like everyone else in the U.S...
There is a toll free telephone number for customers; but I don't know if it
is worldwide.. Also, don't overlook the philatelic books published by Linn's;
they have some excellent, inexpensive reference material which most collectors
can always use.. Following the numerous ads in Linn's keeps you up to date on
the retail market for stamps sales..

best writing and overall reporting of any US stamp journal. > - Does it
feature only USA topics? No, not at all: there is more US than other material,
naturally, but the coverage is world-wide. > - How many pages (weekly)?

It's not just the usual `here's a new stamp' or `one more time, the story of the
inverted Jenny' stuff. They have blown the whistle on the Philatelic Foundation,
which was doing all kinds of funny business, for instance. And they do rather
good publications on the side, such as An Introduction to Stamps of Mexico.....
They are owned by the Scott Catalog folks, but as far as I can see, totally
independent: they are not afraid to criticize Scott's.
