I have made 6 vacation albums using this. What I like is that the album only takes up a little over a half inch of shelf space, your can add any size photos up to 8 1/2 x 11 (just sized to fit on the letter size sheet), and you can type on the page (if you use ms word or publisher to lay out). I use ms publisher and use one photo as background across 2 pages (you end up with a 11 x 17 photo on every page!). Then I frame smaller photos in white and lay them on top of the background. I use the text tools to add captions to the framed photos and longer vacation descriptions to the page in general. I second the recommendation to use 14-15 pages (just buy two sets, you'll probably have a few redos) to fill out the album. Print all even pages and allow to set for a few hours then print the odd pages on the reverse paying close attention to which side/order you're printing on. Paper included is very rich and just the right amount of gloss. Only complaint is the cover is kind of cheap and unattractive color.

I have put together 3 of these. I used extra sheets, I recommend you use 15 sheets per album instead of the 10 supplied. With 15 they will be held better, over this amount it may be difficult to insert them. Everyone who saw these praised them.

This Canon Photo Album Kit 8.5 x 11 is great! I have now made three photo albums, and each one turned out very well. The books end up looking like store bought photo books, no joke! The photo paper quality is great, and so is the white hard cover.

Depending on your printer, most printer programs should have an option to make a book layout, printing double sided. If not, then you can always find printing programs that do. My printer had this option, and it let you choose your layouts for all the pages, the photo sizes, and even a background that goes behind all the pictures. You can set it up like a professionally done photo book, or you can make it more like a scrap book or collage type book. Either way, they're all great.

You use whatever program that you choose, print out all of the sheets with photos on them, take the hard cover and take off the sticker covering (what holds the pages in) and then you insert the pages, add the clips to the top and bottom, and you're done! Just make sure you very very carefully align the pages exactly right, because once they're stuck, they're stuck for good.

All in all, these are very good quality, end up looking like a store ordered photo book, and I definitely plan on buying more in the future. The only set back is the fact that the price is so high. But there really aren't many options out there for making 8.5 x 11 photo books, especially with this quality. I most definitely recommend this, especially to anyone who wants to have a memorable photo book of their family, or as a gift to a girlfriend or wife to show memorable past moments.
