HELPFUL TIPS

What is the difference between these three products?

(its not a trick question...and design isnt the answer)

With so many great albums and books to choose from,

sometimes it can get confusing trying to figure out
which feature or cover type is offered. We created a
new comparison chart to help!
This chart lists all of our album and book products
along with common attributes such as: page quantity,
cover types, page paper types, price range, etc.
You can view the chart on our website in the
Resources section of any of the albums or books.
