Philatelic bureaus are another good resource for stamp collectors. Even though, the web presence is minimal for the vast majority of countries, there are a quite a few countries that do provide good quality services online. Below is a list of the countries with philatelic bureaus (the ones we are aware of) that provide at the very least an English website and an order form:

Stamps are a world of exploration and design, I have used them as examples in elementary art classes to show history, celebration, patriotism, and notable people...
I treasure stamps and hope to see some coming my way, always a delightful day to discover a new one!!
