It used to be my job to stick them in the book

There was other stuff you could get with the green stamps too. I can remember my mom having the S&H catalog out looking through it to see what she could get with her stamps.

TV Stamps

I grew up in Florida where Public and Winn Dixie (Kwik Chek) were the two big grocery chains. Publix gave out the green stamps, Winn Dixie gave out the yellow (TV or Top Value) stamps.
