How is the quality of the album/binder? Someone mentioned it was paper. Is it clear-coated for protection?

I needed the album cover itself to reassemble a very old album that was approximately the same length and width. I did have to order the extended pins to accommodate my old pages. I gave the album and extra pages to a family member, but I'm thinking the paper was a medium weight. Not sure the number of pages, but I called customer service and they were helpful. I think # of pages is in the description. Hope I helped a little. Very nice cover.

The binder is a very heavy duty paper product. It may be laminated but it is not shiny.I have had it since January and it is still in very good condition. This is a great planner.The edging holding the pages is plastic coils.

No. The pictures slide into an open "frame"/page. The picture is exposed and not protected. My photographer gives me my pictures in a clear sleeve that will slide into these pages which helps protect my pictures. I only have to trimthe edge of the protective sleeve a little for it to fit into the page of the album. Great album. I have two of them.

No you can not see the writting on the photo. and there is no place to write beside your photo. so if that's a priority with your decision making on this item, then you probably wouldn't like this. But I will say it's a very nice album and doesn't take up a "lot of "space" while storing.

The album can hold 30-45 pages (or more) of sleeve/page protectors &lt;-- it really all depends on the thickness of what you put in the page protectors. There may be be "Maximum" number recommended for this album, if so, I don't know it. I use these albums for scrap-booking with each page protector holding 2 pieces of heavy weight card-stock, which may have 3-dimensional embellishments on them, therefore I tend to use 30+ pages/album, rarely 45pages/album. I hope this helps give you a basis for your calculations.

I was very pleased with my album. They have "mat type" pages and photos go on the front and the back of each page.

We own two of these large holders. The material of the back portion of the sleeve the disc slides into is an inexpensive black cloth-like material. The material reminds me of the inexpensive grocery or promotion bag material. It is soft enough to protect and not scratch our disks. We have been using them for year with no new scratches or issues. There are slots to place discs and papers on both sides of each page. I hope this helps.

It seems pretty durable to me. I just started putting my recipe collection in it. I am using plastic pages in addition to the cardboard/sticky inserts that came with it. I only did this because it is a space saver-as I am sure I will be adding to my collection and the heavy duty plastic sheet protectors are very nice. I am happy with this and think it would make a great gift

Mine came with pages that are "magnetic" with the clear overlay sheet. You can also get it with pages designed for cards. I've had one for 7-8 years and its holding up great. I recently got one for my mother and she loves her's as well!

It is decent paper and can hold up to pencil, eraser, or pen. Only the outside cover is glossy.

The pages are like the old photo albums with pages in that you peel away the clear film, and your recipe then sticks to the "glue" There are clear sheet protectors with 3 holes that you can buy that will be good if you have a double sided recipe from a magazine We have 3 they are great

mine came with 2 sheet covers, which get scratched quickly. so I tried to buy some, but are no longer made. I scanned my photos in without using the sheet covers, and it worked just fine, and better picture quality. I'm satisified with mys canner, I scanned in all my photos going back 50 years.

The plastic sleeves that I received with the photo album were clear, not cloudy.

The ones I bought are: Ultra Pro Sleeve Series 8" x 10" Soft Sleeves, 50 qty. Barcode 074427823214, Stock #82321. These are just sleeves, there are no holes or any type of edge that would fit in an album. I consider them for loose storage only. The inside (pocket or sleeve) dimension is a tight 8 1/8" x 10 1/8". That is why they are labeled they will hold up to a 8" x 10 " outside dimension photo or any piece of flat paper. The front of the page says: Clear Polypropylene, acid free - no PVC. Note: These are very slippery, with a very clear finish, not like softer types available that have a bit more cloudy appearance. Also note if you put something in them that is thick, like heavy cardstock, small poster, the overall outside dimensions that will fit will be less because the thickness uses up some of the width dimension. I like them because of the clarity for the price. But they are slippery when on top of each other.

AJ, excellent question. No to both questions. I like the outside cover but the paper is shiny which I do not like.

It is soft and does not have a backing. The cover is basically a rectangular piece of leather with the rings attached to the middle to hold the paper.
