The
Golden Stamp Book of Horses. No publisher, no date. 46 pp. This is
a paperbound book, measuring 8.5 x 11”. It tells the stories of different
breeds, with line drawings by Sam Savitt on each page. This is one of those
books were you are supposed to peel off color stickers (included) and affix
them to the relevent pages of the book. There are 44 lovely color stickers by
Sam Savitt. They are arranged on 4 pages in the book, 2 at the front and 2 at
the back. I got 6 books, still shrink-wrapped together, from a sort of estate
sale situation. These books must be from the 1960s or ‘70s (original price on
cover is 89 cents), and had never been opened. When I opened them I found that
each set of two color stickers had stuck together. So you can only actually see
the top page of each 2-page section, which includes 24 stickers/stamps. Ten
more stickers are reproduced on the back cover, but you do miss out on viewing
the other 10 altogether. The stamps are pretty, and in color, and the ones you
can see include Man o’War (head shot), a Lipizzan in Levade, a standing
Clydesdale superimposed against a plaid background (!), a gorgeous golden
chestnut Saddlebred, a palomino circus liberty horse, a bay TWH plantation
walker, the Darley Arabian, etc. Only have one copy left! $5
