Okay, a serious stamp question

Geez, I'm gonna ruin my reputation here with this. Oh, well.

The lady in the next cubicle has an album full of sheets of stamps that her mother had collected. Some have errors. Is there a book she can get to research the stamps? Something like the Red Book is to coins? Thanks.

For US Stamps try the Brookman stamp catalog
at Amazon.com
or the Scott's Stamp Catalog
Prices don't change a lot from year to year so 2002 would give you a ballpark figure.

Edited to add I use the 2000 Brookman.

Laceupboots pretty much nailed it. There is also the "Black Book" and it covers errors.

Thank you Laceupboots. Good to hear from you.

Good to see you, Plato. Thank you both for your responses. I emailed the first two and will do the same with Plato's on Monday.
