Nature of America

The 12-year Nature of America series of United States stamps is coming to an end. With its interesting pane layouts and wonderful artwork, this popular stamp series broke new ground. The final pane, showing a Hawaiian Rain Forest, will be issued in September.

Along with information about next month's U.S. stamps, this newsletter offers a look at the recent Sunday Funnies first-day ceremony, a feature about stamps celebrating the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, and another on India achieving independence in 1947. You'll also find a preview of the next issue of Scott Stamp Monthly.

Happy collecting!
