Looks like it might be possible to buy the stamp online from the Dutch
Postal website at:
http://collectclub.postnl.nl/pages/detail/s1/10220000001593-2-21010000000080.aspx
for 5 Euros which comes to $ 6.12.

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!
