This is an excellent baby book. I am so happy to have found a memory book that is classic and has all the categories I was looking for. I bought a book for my now 15-month old daughter and wound up not liking it because I found it had too many things like "Mommy felt ______ when she found out she was having me." and "Daddy met mommy ______"
This book is similar to the one my mother had for me and I thoroughly love it.

This is a very beautiful keepsake baby book. My mother gave me one when my daughter was born 11 years ago, and we purchased this for my mother's first great-grandchild. The art is lovely, with a slightly old world, victorian look, and there is a lot of room for all your childs memories. I've never seen anything quite like this baby book ... you won't be disappointed!

This book is made to be a keepsake. The construction is of the finest quality. The illustrations are beautiful.

This memory book is by far the absolute best book available! It starts at birth and continues until age 7! It has pages for a family tree, dental & medical records, photos, birthdays, christmas, school years just to name a few! It is beautifully done. If you want a classy keepsake, this is one! I purchased 2, both as gifts and will continue to purchase for future gifts! I highly recommend it! You won't be disappointed.

This was everything I was looking for in a baby book. The design, layout, art and construction are all top quality, and will undoubtedly be prized by the mother and baby for as long as the book is kept.

This baby book is a bit out of date. It has cute pop ups but it doesn't ahve a lot of different suggestions for interesting things to comment on about the new baby. I found better at Babies R Us. Also waxy pages a litte difficult to write on. If you are looking for a baby book that is just like the one you had in the 60s, this is it.

really neat baby book, cute reasonable price, antique look, has all the important baby memory pages, cute pop ups, I was really impressed when I recieved it.

This book is pretty, and old-fashioned looking, but the space is horribly laid out. One could fit possibly two pictures on a page, due to the illustrations and pop-ups. The Christmas/birthday pages do not give enough room to fit a standard sized photograph. The "firsts" page does not give ample room for more than a date and a phrase for description. Finally, a large portion of the book is relevant to only children who have a doctor for the birth, attend out-of-the-home school, and only have one page of "memories". I expect some of these conventional things to be in these books, but this takes up a large amount of the book, as the book is not very many pages long. The paper, as others have mentioned, is glossy and therefore writing is difficult.

This book is unique in that most pages have pop-ups right at the top of the page. This makes it hard to open the book and if your child goes through it when they are older, it is likely to get ruined. It is also quite a distraction on the pages and a lot of them tend to fold over and land on the page itself. Also the pages are shiny and have a coating that if you use certain kinds of pens it smears all over the page-like the new acid free pens. Also, there is trouble mounting photo's because of the coating. It seems that photo corners do not stick very well and there really is little room for photo's anyway.
That being said, the pictures are beautiful, but I found that it really wasn't very functional in terms of getting down your baby's firsts, keeping memento's and photo's in. I would have rated it 2.5 stars but it wouldn't let me change it after I had already rated it one star.

Its a beautiful looking book, i just wish it had more pages, more information. it only has about 10 pages, very general, i would have like more detailed questions, feeding.. sleeping... and so one. other then thats its very pretty
