Honestly, yes. A book of stamps is like a rainy-day umbrella for your snail mail. You don’t need it every day, but when you do, you’ll be glad you have it. Plus, it costs less than a pizza, and it doesn’t go bad. (Pizza does. Sad but true.)
If you’re a collector—or just a weirdo like me who loves tiny rectangles—you can also buy special edition books with cool artwork. Serpentine stamps, dinosaurs, or even presidents with goofy faces. They’re like trading cards for adults, but you can actually use them.
So, how many stamps in a book of stamps? 20—usually. But the real answer is: just enough to connect you to someone else. And that’s pretty cool for a piece of paper that’s smaller than your thumb. Now go buy a book. You deserve that little bit of analog joy.
