Product Description

Now available in two sizes, these exquisite facsimiles of antique postcard albums unearthed at a Parisian flea market take us back to an era when postcards were small treasures from faraway lands. Featuring Art Nouveau textured and padded covers and original floral line art inside, these two Cartes Postales albums offer the perfect home for special postcards and photographs. Each can hold both 3 1/2 x 5-inch and 4 x 6-inch postcards or photographs; the small version holds 64 photos, and the large up to 192 photos. Die-cuts hold each photo neatly without adhesive. These are truly special keepsake albums for travelers, collectors, and photographers alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars a genteel way to share a trip or memory, April 26, 2004

By	Peter McReynolds (California U S) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cartes Postales (Hardcover)

A handsome and handy way to keep and share memories of other places or even other times. A wonderful idea almost perfectly resurrected from oblivion. The book's unique shape offers personality. The die-cut pages hold postcards well and are a good, neutral color allowing any postcard to look its best. I have only two caveats. First, those wonderful-looking covers are plastic, not leather, and plastic can crack at the corners in an unattractive way. (Leather ages gracefully.) Second, I don't know if the pages are acid-free, so I don't know if this book offers archival storage. If it does, the publisher is missing a chance to tout the book's quality. If it does not, the user must consider the danger of using the book for really good cards, e.g. old, rare or hand-painted postcards. But then, the price is nice and reasonable. My first copy was a welcome gift; I plan to buy more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Really beautiful but..., December 10, 2006

By	Scheherezade for 1,001 nights (the lovely place where the good apples come from WA) - See all my reviews

Hi.. My husband and I saw these (they also have a pretty version that is a tall format) in a museum gift shop and we were immediately attracted to the beautiful covers. He offered to buy me one, then he realized that from what he could see the postcards would rub against each other, (when the album pages were closed) as the cards face each other in the album. Those of you that have bought it haven't mentioned that and while that may not matter for modern postcards it surely would not be good for vintage ones that were delicate or glittered, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love postcards..., February 7, 2006

By	Sweet Jane (Utah) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cartes Postales (Hardcover)

I have collected random postcards for years, and everyone I know knows it. This adds up to several postcards a month! This book was given to me as a gift, and it was one of the most thoughtful gifts ever~I am ready to order another, since my book is almost full. The end papers are gorgeous.

Very nice postcard display book. While it cannot fit all sizes of postcards, it can hold up to a 4x6 size. I like the feel of the cover and the way the book can lay flat.
