Abstract
Abstract A trading stamp saver book is characterized by a cover and folded signatures joined by glue. The signatures afford interior pages having spaces for the stamps. The pages are weakened by scores, whereby removal of the cover or a signature visibly mars the book and whereby the pages may be rent along the score lines at the redemption center to so mutilate the book and its contents as to prevent swindle.
