== INTERNATIONAL STAMP ALBUM CATALOG ==
This wikibook's mission is to create a catalog of stamp albums from all over the world.
The primary mission is the comprehensive cataloging of postage stamp albums; its secondary mission is the cataloging of non-postage stamp albums [low priority] aka Cinderella stamp albums.
The wikibook is organized by country of publication and within each country by the name of the publisher.
Due to their prowess in stamp albums the following countries of manufacture are given top priority: USA, UK, France, Germany.
Albums are further organized by their method of binding. Albums with stitched binding are of highest priority.
All entries to this wikibook should include the following: clear photo of stamp album cover, clear photo of title page; clear photos of two typical pages, year of publication, number of pages, cover measurements, page measurements, editor's name [if possible], method of binding, price and date of purchase and/or offer.
In general, with few exceptions this catalog has NOT included: stock books, single country albums, album supplements, plate block albums, cover albums and postcard albums.
This wikibook is founded and organized by the Stamp Album Study Group [STAG] of Los Angeles. Please address all inquiries by email to group founder and wikibook editor.
This wiki was begun August 11, 2016 and is only a start at a comprehensive catalog. Editing notes are currently included.

iv. STOCK BOOKS
A stock book is a form of album but it lacks a paper surface for the attachment of stamps and instead relies upon the storage of stamps within rows of sleeves. Occasionally these have nifty and/or attractive covers - and no known publisher - and may even be titled 'stamp album'.
Many publishers of stamp albums also issued stock books and when such a relationship is known to exist the stock book is noted within the publisher's list of albums and other philatelic creations.
Spelling is standardized here as the two word phrase 'stock book' but the compound 'stockbook' is used when a publisher has noted as such.
Stock books are divided as follows:
a. Stock Books by Album Publishers
These stock books are listed at the tail end of a publisher's list of albums.
These publishers include: Dansco, Elbe, Hygrade, Leuchtturm and WHSmith.
b. Stock Books by Other Publishers and Brands
Stock books of publishers who are not known album publishers are noted below - sometimes under a distributor, brand name or brand:

The Harris company was founded in 1916 [Independence H-IN.1] and was bought out by General Mills circa 1975. The Harris company was spun off and in 2005 Harris bought out the coin publishing division of Whitman Publishing. Harris then changed its corporate name to Whitman which still publishes Harris albums and binders.
A 1978 Harris Reference Catalog of Postage Stamp Prices notes 'Harris since 1916' on the cover. The Patriot shows 'Serving the Collector Since 1916'.
Harris also used the 'Honor-Bilt' trademark on numerous products including albums. The mark is spelled 'Honor-Built' by error in some instances. A later 'Masterwork' indicia was used.
IVORY
Harris created the Ivory Stamp Club which was sponsored by Proctor and Gamble with a radio show Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights at 6:30 PM [on WJZ, New York] airing until 1936. To be a member one had to mail in an Ivory Soap wrapper and in return received an album, some stamps and a membership badge or pin. Members mailed in 4 Ivory Soap wrappers for a selection of stamps from Harris; some say it was 2 wrappers and a dime. Members mailed their wrappers to the Ivory Stamp Club, Box 1801, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Per A blog: between 1933-1936 over 1 million albums and at club's end there had been 21 million members. 400 million stamps distributed.

Jaques Minkus, publisher
George A. Tlamsa, editor - unless noted otherwise
Minkus began selling stamps at a folding table in Gimbel's department store in Manhattan, NYC in 1931. Popularity was high so he opened dozen's of Minkus counters in various Gimbels in other locations around the US extending as far as Los Angeles.
Before his empire at Gimbels began, he arrived in the USA in 1929 and, with his brother Morris, began publishing 'dime stamp albums' and selling them with bags of stamps at chain stores. This effort ended in 1930 when he married and stopped travelling; the dime album stock went to Morris Minkus.
Years later Minkus would publish albums of a special commemorative nature.
JM-FA.1 United States Famous Americans Series 1940 yet cover states Famous Americans; 'Heroes of Peace'; 1940; black with gold lettering; 3-ring; 'text by Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., Stamp Editor of the New York Sun, Illustrations by Edwin Nicoliades Homer, Published by Jacques Minkus New York' [100]
JM-MEM.1 Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Stamp Album; 1946; first edition; black binder with gold lettering; 3-ring; 30 pp.; publisher is noted as Jacques Minkus; it appears the editor is A. S. Arnold [300]
In the late 1940s he founded Minkus Publishing.
By 1952 he was publishing The New World Wide Postage Stamp Album with editor [Colonel] George A. Tlamsa and The All American Stamp Album, among others.
It has been said the first album was the Master Global - a behemoth 2-post expandable album - in 1951.
In 1955 he published The New World-Wide Stamp Catalog, again with Tlamsa.
Minkus published a New American Stamp Catalog in 1954 - if not earlier; first editor is unknown but later editions are edited by Ben Blumenthal.
Minkus Publishing was sold in the mid-1980s [1986] to Harry H. de Jong who later passed it off to Novus. De Jong's Minkus Stamp & Publishing, Inc. was created in 1988 but dissolved in 1990 per South Carolina's Secretary of State filings.
The Minkus catalogue and numbering system is now owned by Amos Press of Amos Hobby Publishing - the owners of Scott.
Minkus died in 1996 at the age of 94.
There are four stages of Minkus albums:
a] the 'dime albums' produced with brother Morris 1929-1930; no examples yet known; if Morris continued publishing beyond 1930 is unknown;
b] albums before the New World-Wide was published circa 1952 or earlier; some are known;
c] albums from the New World-Wide until sale of Minkus Publications by Minkus in mid-1980s; over 100 titles of which most are single country albums coordinated with his New World-Wide catalog;
d] albums by new owners after sale by Minkus.
Only albums within [b] and [c] stages are of concern at this time.
NB: In 1956 ASDA Program Minkus advertised 7 albums:
The All American yet dustjacket states The All American Stamp Album

IV. CINDERELLA STAMP ALBUMS
i. Collectible Cards
Albums for collectible cards are, for the most part - and it is not specifically the intent that such cards are not part of this catalog - not a part of this catalog except if such cards depict stamps. Such cards are regarded as cinderellas.
Albums and cards were, for the most part, published by cigarette companies - most notably in the UK.
ii. POSTER STAMPS
Poster stamps were a phenomenon of the mid 19th century and early 20th century. They were advertising stamps for companies and for exhibitions, for the most part. One notable exception is a series of books published for children under the Stampkraft brand.

POSTAL SAVINGS
U. S. Government Printing Office
There are four types of postal savings stamps and each was saved by customers on a card or in a small folder. Both stamps and the card - sometimes called a certificate - or album [i.e. folder] were prepared by respective government departments:
U.S. Post Office Department
Postal Savings stamps; beginning in 1911
Savings stamps; ending in 1970
U.S. Treasury Department
War Savings stamps; beginning in 1917
Treasury stamps; beginning in 1920
Postal Savings
Cards were sold - or were they given gratis? - at the Post Office for the price of one savings stamp. The card had one stamp printed upon the card itself. It therefore took 9 and not 10 more stamps to fulfill the card.
