| | Mail Art: an Overview |
 | | When you might mail out as many as forty or fifty pieces in one week, that nickel begins to add up pretty fast. | | | These stamps are often printed by offset and professionally perforated, or they might be photocopied and then run through a sewing machine without thread, or the stamps may actually be rubber stamps. | | | While still near the subject of photocopying, it would be wrong not to mention that wonderful new toy: the color copier. |
