Dear Dmitri (if I may),
The free-for-all anent the USPS PhotoStamps is going full blast.
According
to its website, "over 13 million PhotoStamps have been sold." No doubt
many
of the stamps display beaming babies and gibbering gerbils, but the
stamps are for private use and enjoyment and Nabokovians need not pay
attention. VN's books, after all, stand on library and bookstore shelves
all over the world not far from what are no doubt prime examples of
poshliatina v vyshei stepeni. A few tastefully chosen VN images on
customized stamps, perhaps chosen by you, it seems to me, could do no
harm.
Warmest greetings,
Jerry Katsell
