5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, January 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Pioneer 12-Inch by 12-Inch Family Treasures Deluxe Fabric Postbound Album, Midnight Blue (Misc.)

These albums are the greatest! Never again will I buy any albums that are "self-stick" for my photos! I had many photos ruined or near ruined by those kind of albums and thankfully I had most of the negatives stored in an acid-free environment!

These books are made to last, and are made to archive photos so you'll have them for a limetime, and be able to pass them along as heirlooms. The albums I have from photo shops that re acid-free are simply photo holders, and are boring!

These albums are not boring by any means! You can write about what the pictures are about, add decorations in acid-free papers, etc.They have add-on pages you can buy (most craft stores have them if you can't find them here) and many stationary stores carry the acid-free decorative sheets, stamps and other goodies you'll want to make your own wonderful creations. Photo albums have never looked this good! If I could give this a perfect 10 I would! I bought a couple of these elsewhere, but will be ordering them here from now on, as I can get the color I want AND they cost less than getting them from a craft store!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Cream of the Crop!, November 28, 2001

This review is from: Pioneer 12-Inch by 12-Inch Family Treasures Deluxe Fabric Postbound Album, Midnight Blue (Misc.)

While this type of album is certainly better than the "self-stick" magnetic albums and the pocket albums, it is not the best of the bunch! The posts make it a little hard to journal about the pictures because the book won't lie flat (which also makes some of the pictures pop off the page). And because it is top-loading dust, dirt, and water can get onto the pictures and scratch or ruin them. I took this one back and bought a Creative Memories album. Now they are the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quality Bargain, August 13, 2001

This review is from: Pioneer 12-Inch by 12-Inch Family Treasures Deluxe Fabric Postbound Album, Seabreeze Blue (Kitchen)

An avid scrapbooker, I've never strayed from KOLO brand materials, but took a chance on the less expensive "Pioneer Family Treasures 12"X12" Memory Book". Without a doubt, I am very pleased with my purchase and will certainly consider Pioneer brand supplies for future purchases.

The archival quality inserts that are included with the book are fine quality and I found them sturdy enough to not warp when using wet adhesive (glues, for instance) and no noticeable bleeding when using darker colored markers. A bonus that the purchase price includes these inserts as well as the plastic protectors. The only drawback to the protectors is that I found them a bit of a flimsy alternative to the more sturdy mylar protectors - still they do the job.

The screw post binding system is a standard with refillable scrapbooks and in the Pioneer case, also very durable.

I'm not really wild about the color scheme of the Pioneer memory books, and covering the wrap around spine design with a different fabric has proven difficult. Other than that, I have only praise for this 5-star product. Durable, archival, and an extremely reasonable price (especially considering the inclusion of 10 archival inserts and 10 protector sheets). A recommended purchase for any scrapbooker.
