Julie,
I've got a message in to the librarian (and friend!) at the American
Philatelic Society, conveniently located up the road from State College
in Bellefonte, PA. Will let you know what I hear back.

     In June 2012, 135 years after its first publication, the Dutch postal
     service launched a sheet of 10 stamps, containing 6 editions of the so
     called "Bosatlas", published between 1877 and 2012; see
     <http://persons.kb.nl/jsmits/__cartifact/netherlands41.html
     <http://persons.kb.nl/jsmits/cartifact/netherlands41.html>>

     It is now in its 54th edition under the title "De grote Bosatlas : voor
     vmbo-havo-vwo" (ISBN 978-90-01-12600-1) and has had many
derivatives and
     foreign editions through the past years.

     I wonder whether digital publications can/will also be (digitally)
     honoured in such a way in the future!
