Who does it? The catalog editors. How is it done? That information is contained in the introduction to the catalogs.
Here is wikipedia overview.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_catalogue
Years ago USPS used to publish "The Postal Service Guide to US Stamps", where Scott numbers were shown. Did Scott give USPS a license to do this? Are they still doing it? This would be a great "pocket" book for US stamps.
Yes, the 44th edition (2018) is available from the post office.
Maybe this question was raised before, but after some search I did not find any result.
How are Scott numbers assigned for US stamps? Who does it? Thanks.
