I bought this book because I was working on a large scrapbook project to give to family members (and of course, one additional scrapbook to keep for myself). Well, this book was exactly what I needed to finish my projects.
First of all, this book includes a BONUS CD (but please note that some of the Instant Memories books do not all include CDs, so please check the books' description to see if the CD is included in your purchase).
Second, the books' colors are vivid.
Third, the pages are very easy to duplicate on a Xerox machine.
Fourth, if you wanted , you can also use the pages straight from the book itself, since the backs are blank (and therefore wont interfere with the pages' usage, front and back).
Fifth, if you LOVE a nostalgic touch to your albums then you will just love this particular book. Many of the reproduceable pages are made from original antique "copper plates" and therefore, your Album can have that nostalgic "look".
Sixth, the front of the book has many "gallery of ideas", and thus, you can get many ideas on how to use most of the scrapbook pages in your own personal album.
