2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 29, 2006

Didn't give as much inspiration or even as much instruction as I was hoping. Layouts were messy and hopeful at best. I'm just a beginner, but I was bored and dis-enchanted with the entire book. I give it two stars because there are a lot of contributors to this book who put in a lot of man hours and had some okay layouts. I thought it was a waste of money and wouldn't buy it again.

i was excited about the concept of having go to ideas for doing more "manly" pages for my husband and his activities. However, I found the scrapbook ideas to be outdated and not very creative. What i thought would be a cool book just wasn't.

This review is from: All Men Scrapbook Pages (Memory Makers) (Paperback)

My life's been a merry salad of male activities, and until recently I had just about given up hope of properly documenting it, but then I discovered Emily Curry Hitchingham and even better, Hitchingham's books packed with scrapbooking tips for the newbie. I'd lived the complete life of a man--hard scrabble beginnings growing up as an American child, scared, isolated and desolee in rural France, then early pangs of adolescent passions, a deep interest in American sports such as bowling, basketball and college football, and then the typical career path of a US male, replete with wise mentors, obnoxious bosses, and toadying suckups. Now at the very top of my profession, and having found true love late in life with the novelist Dodie Bellamy, I found myself wondering, how to get all of this wonderment down? Curry Hitchingham offered the glimmerings of a solution with her book on PET PAGES, in which we found ourselves commemorating the loss of our two cats, Blanche and Stanley--one white, one black--through scrapbooking, the fastest growing hobby for women in the USA.

Men should do more scrapbooking too! Men, you don't want to be like me, having attained maturity, with all your works around you, but suddenly feeling hollow, ill at ease with a world closing in on one like an oldtime puptent from Scouting Days. My wife bought me a copy of "All Boys" Scrapbook Pages, and I blanketed an entire scrapbook with souvenirs of my bittersweet years in childhood France--postcards of Mt.Ste Michel and Chartres, candid photos of Marc Chagall in repose, and scouting badges from the American Boy Scouts in Exile. I did a page in rope since tying was my favorite sport. And yet by the end of the book "I" was only 12 or 13. I needed a book to show off my manhood, the Lawrentian way, the primal way, and "ALL MEN" is it. Are you afraid of seeming feminine with pretty colors and coded allusions to domestic bliss? Then this may not be the book from you. But if you're man enough to take Emily Curry Hitchingham on her own terms, the way that Spencer Tracy always stood up to Kate Hepburn even at her most loquacious and mannered, then this book may be the answer to your dreams.

I've written many books, but never one as important as the Kevin Killian Scrapbook of Being a Man. And she helped.
