While I was over buying a few coins I bought a whole pile of stamps. Now before ya say anything yes I know Stamps aint worth nuthin 
. Here is a pic:
I have a stamp book that I got when I was 9. I intend on completeing it(has been forgotten for some time and found it ahwile ago) and this is just a first step. What is in this book condition wise is of no matter but I don't want destroyed/torn stamps. If they are cancelled that is fine, just as long as the whole stamp is there. I would like to just have it complete. Some of these stamps have not been cancelled and some have been cacelled and are still stuck to the paper.
Question 1) How do I remove the stamp from the paper without toally destroying the stamp?
Question 2) Back when I started collecting this they had a clear double sided sheet that had envelope type gum that you licked and stuck it on the place in the book. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about. Is there a better way today to add these stamps to my album?
If so, anyone wanna sell me some so I can get started sorting through my purchase?
Thanks for reading.

Thats a hinge !
might as well put your nice coins in PVC flips !
i have a crap load of showguard mounts,kinda like flips for stamps i will sell for 50 % of retail !
PM for details !
Proof
i think the only way to remove stamps from the envelope is to soak em in water !
I'll give it a try and check the results!
The one stamp on the left is purposly rolled up to show depth and the style of "hinge" I was using. The stamp itself is quite flat as this book has been sitting in a closet for many years.
