Another scrapbooking "tome" for the intermediate to expert scrapper. The book contains lots of ideas for a unique and gorgeous family heritage album. There are tips scattered throughout concerning scrapbook techniques and preservation. Also included are numerous websites for obtaining the materials used in the sample pages (I am not sure they are all viable as of 2010 though).

This book has some really cool ideas for family photos. I am in the middle of organizing a bunch of old family photos and I was looking for some ideas. This book is a great one. I am going to have a blast putting together some cool memory pages!
