With so many great albums and books to choose from, sometimes it can get confusing trying to figure out which feature or cover type is offered. We created a new comparison chart to help!

This chart lists all of our album and book products along with common attributes such as: page quantity, cover types, page paper types, price range, etc.

You can view the chart on our website in the Resources section of any of the albums or books.

What is the difference between these three products?

(it’s not a trick question...and “design” isn’t the answer)
