5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful albums, February 13, 2001

Hopefully, this is not a duplicate review, as I posted one earlier that did not show up.

I now have about 15-20 of these albums. They are the best I have used so far. Amazon has them priced cheaper than I have ever seen them as well.

The albums have individual pockets to hold photos and can accept as large as (3) 4X6 's per page side. However, this page side can alternatively hold (1) panoramic per page side. Excellent flexibility.

What I also like about the pockets for pages instead of the magnetic pages, is that you can stack more than one picture in pocket. I do this when I have doubles that I have not given away or pictures of a similar topic matter, just not as good as the ones on top. Due to my way of storing pictures; all pictures go in an album, negatives elsewhere (in a box for 35mm and in an Advantix photo keeper for the APS negatives), this makes it handy to store all the photos you took, not just the ones you want to display.

Since these pockets only open toward the binding, this keeps any pictures from falling out. Only on few occassions with handling with my kids, have any pictures been jostled loose. The plastic is not very slippery to pictures, while the individual pages have never stuck together.

The only negative, was that with the spiral binding, you can't add or subtract sheets. This forces you often to leave some spots blank, if you want to limit an album to groups of negatives. However, given the cost of the album and the durability of the spiral bind (versus a more flexible system), this is not too much of an issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars organization made easy, November 28, 2000

This review is from: Pioneer Bi-Directional Memo Pocket Album, Burgundy (Kitchen)

I think I own 4 of these albums now and they've stood the test of time and are quick and easy to fill. The 'bi-directional' pockets allow you to place both horizontal and vertical pictures 'right-side-up.' No turning the album sideways to look at the pictures. Since each pocket is 'bi-directional' you don't have to relegate the verical pictures to special pockets designed for vertical orientation or struggle with magnetic pages. The spiral binding has not come undone and the pages are reinforced and designed well for easy page turning. There's memo space in the margin to record places, names and dates. The pages also hold panaramic pictures but you will have to turn the album sideways to view these. The only problem that I've had with these albums is that the pictures do slide a little sometimes, requiring a bit of repositioning but do have not fallen out.
