Birds and Flowers of the 50 States, A Collection of US Commemorative Stamps. H/C. 60 pp.

A fascinating look at each of America's 50 states' choice of bird and flower on the commemorative 20c stamps, from the mockingbird and bluebonnet flower of Texas to the American goldfinch and rhododendrons of Washington. And of course Rhode Island commemorates its Rhode Island Red (chicken). Beautiful colour photographs throughout.
