Online stamp album purchase

Where to buy a stamp album online?

My Dad's an amateur stamp collector, so he has all of them in a little wooden box, and has now retired and has the time to put them all together, etc. However, he has asked me to get him a stamp album for him and I don't know where to get one from.

I checked Amazon, but they only have starter kits for kids. I want to get my dad something really nice, even though he doesn't exactly have rare stamps, and wouldn't mind spending up to about US$50.

I'm not in the US, but can call in and make purchases via telephone using a credit card, and it would have to be delivered to South America.

Hope you guys can help me!

Subway Stamp Shop is a large philatelic dealer. You can email them and ask if they ship internationally.

Get him a Scott Album

Scott is the standard, it is high quality and can expand as years go on.

And, if your dad wants some advice, have him contact me.... I've been collecting for 50 years, I'm not an expert but would love talking to him...
