For slip-ins I like:
http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?o...atted%20Albums
and actually Target has a really nice selection....but the Adorama's come in a nice box for presentation.

I've hit Michael's and Hobby Lobby a few times, there are some nice ones there (some require assembly). Basically look for the scrapbookers section.

Targets and Walmart sometimes have great ones for low costs.

The adorama link above lists all of their library bound, leatherette albums..including 4 x 6, 5 x 7, and 8 x 10, holding anywhere between 18 and 36 prints...black..white...maroon..with black or white pages.

But when I shot film and was proofing 4 x 6's for engagements or bridals...I picked up a nice book from Target usually. The above listed are more for final product..not proof.

Thanks for the suggestions...looking for some nice leather bound ones. Curious if there are any online stores that carry a good selection/price. Or even brick and mortar stores.

Why is it that everytime you two argue all I can envision is Daniel holding Holly in a warm embrace while Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" plays in the background?

I have found some very nice albums by C R Gibson at Ritz that do well as album/proof books, when you finish with Adorama, you might want to check them out

Thanks for the suggestion thus far....still haven't found a style I like. Just so you know it's not for weddings...this is personal.

So any others?
