Naturally, maps and geography are closely related to stamp collecting, which I also do. These interests all overlap. I am not interested in collecting ordinary stamps from countries like France and Germany. It's the lesser known countries that bring me more pleasure because their graphics are always more interesting. Most countries just throw some face on their stamps, but the little known countries are more creative. I've been having a hard time finding used stamps from Azerbaijan and wonder if you could send me some from the letters you receive? I realize this is an unusual request. I found you while browsing for Azerbaijan on the Internet and just thought I would write to see if I would have any luck in obtaining some. I'll be glad to pay for them.

I've been collecting maps for many years
as I'm trying to get some from every country. I find map collecting
is a great way to study geography. It's fascinating to look at
maps and see all these countries with their borders, and thousands
and thousands of kilometers of roads between the little dots
which represent cities. This is how I have learned about countries
like Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Moldova, Uzbekistan and many others.
