4.0 out of 5 stars Look like the Real Thing!, July 19, 2005

By	L. Green (America's Heartland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have purchased two books of these luggage labels, one to decorate an old suitcase and one for an art project. I was very happy with the sizes of these stickers and the variety of shapes. The color printing was of excellent quality and the stickers look as authentic as the real thing. I did find the adhesive on them to be a little weak and would suggest using some sort of glue if you are putting them on anything besides paper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for collectors!!!, June 30, 2006

By	M. Carolina Edwards "Tatita" (Asunción, Paraguay) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In my particular case, I consider myself as a collector and really enjoyed this book. Although it doesn't have as many stickers as I was expecting, they are very nice, very colourful and lively. I found them exquisite.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Smaller Projects..., October 29, 2007

By	Trace S. Gorsline "Tacebase" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good for smaller projects. The stickers in this book, though very colorful and historic, are also very small. Averaging about 2" x 3" or less. If you are looking for larger stickers of the size they actually used on luggage, this may not be the right fit.
