The U.S. Postal Service will celebrate its 250th anniversary in July with a 32-page booklet, "Putting a Stamp on the American Experience" that focuses on the cultural importance of U.S. stamps.

Highlighting the popular series and subjects that give the stamp program its range and depth, this booklet — only the fourth ever issued by the Postal Service — commemorates the 250th anniversary of our nation's postal system and celebrates the enduring influence of stamps on our shared heritage.
Two self-adhesive sheets of a new intaglio printed stamp featuring Benjamin Franklin are available exclusively with the booklet. The stamp is based on an 1875 reproduction of an 1847 5-cent stamp, one of the first official U.S. postage stamps.

The cover of the booklet includes a crop of the 1969 First Moon Landing Forever stamp that was released in 2019. I inquired with the USPS if additional space-related stamps were included inside the booklet, but they are keeping its content secret until its release.
