A very beautiful book, though if you are looking for a place to store comprehensive information for your newborn such as shower info, ultrasound info, handprints and footprints, first tooth and lock of hair, this is not the keepsake book you want. It does not have a place for babys firsts, news of the day, birth announcement, etc it is very limited in this respect, but has alot of room for info during ages 1-5 and a place for foot and handprints once your child is 5. Alot of beautiful Anne Geddes baby fairy imagery and a bonus envelope in back to store a few mementos such as announcements, ultrasound photo, news clipping, etc. I have noticed several sellers stating it is a rare book though you can find it avaliable in several places. Also, they offer it for 24.99, but the publishers US price is 14.95. Based on what is included in the pages and the lack of places for info, I would not pay more than about 10.00 for what this book is.

This is wonderful and everything I was looking for in a record book as a gift for a friend. I looked everywhere to find one that wasn't a scrapbook or only one year. Thanks

I searched everywhere for a cute, sweet book to write in for my daughter. This book is awesome. The pictures of the fairy babies are adorable, the pages have a nice layout and allow for a lot of writing and pictures. I would highly recommend this book if you want something that both you and your child can flip through years later and enjoy together.

Please note that if you want to include a lot of medical information or have room to add pages, this is not the book for you. There are other books out there that come in 3-ring binders that you can get. For this type of thing I would recommend for you "Our Baby's First Seven Years" record book.

Hope this helps! Thanks.

I am very happy with the book and all the beautiful pictures, BUT someone put black permanent marker all over the bottom edge of the book itself. It doesn't hurt the use of the book, but it does make me unhappy that I paid so much money for a "New" baby book for my first grandchild and it was not "New".

This is a very pretty book but it has so many photos of other people's babies (Geddes photos) that I had to attach my photos over some of them as there isn't that much room for your own photos. It's nice that it goes up to five years but it doesn't really have the space for as many notes and special occasions as the one I have for my older daughter that only goes to three years. If you just want a trim book to include a few photos and notes in, though, this would do it.

I was so excited to get this book but ended up returning it, A Geddess has lots of lovely alternatives for the babies first years and this one is dull and kind of liveless compared to her other work.

I was given an anne geddes baby book 4 years ago for my son and I loved it so much! I had to get one from anne geddes when I had my daughter 2 months ago and it is great, just like the one i got years ago! It is by far the best baby book!

All in all, I think this is a very well designed book. I'm not 100% positive that I loved the spiral bound look- makes it feel a little too much like a notebook- as if the pages could/should be removable- but other than that it's just beautiful! The images and neutral color scheme adds just enough without being overbearing. It feels timeless and classic and is simple to understand and fill out. As a professional photographer myself, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a beautiful keepsake that will become an heirloom, should you choose to add a bunch of your photos or keep personal photographs minimal. Just what I was looking for.

the baby books is very cute! She will love to looks at it when she grows up to see what she did when she was little!!!

I bought this book for my daughther in law and while it is cute it is not really what I had hoped for. My main concern is that the "ring binder" doesn't close properly and it is flimsy. Was expecting a better quality product. Over all my daughter in law liked it (so she said) but I wouldnt recommend buying it for a gift.
