From its humble beginning as a 24-page bound pamphlet, the multi-volume set now list more than 700,000 stamps from 600 different postal entities. Because of the size of each Volume, the 2019 edition has each volume split into a part A and B.

The numbering system used by Scott to identify stamps is dominant among stamp collectors in the United States, Mexico, Canada and throughout the world. It is a must for any researcher or stamp collector.
