Customer Reviews

Best out there
This particular Pioneer album is the best scrapbooking album out there. I've been scrapbooking for 5 years now and have now transferred all my cropped pages to this album--a total of 24 albums all together! The expandable wraparound spine in the matching cloth fabric is so professional and beautiful--these books make a true display item. Unfortunately, I find they are getting harder to find nowadays so stocking up when you find them is probably a good idea!!

Not the Cream of the Crop!
While this type of album is certainly better than the "self-stick" magnetic albums and the pocket albums, it is not the best of the bunch! The posts make it a little hard to journal about the pictures because the book won't lie flat (which also makes some of the pictures pop off the page). And because it is top-loading dust, dirt, and water can get onto the pictures and scratch or ruin them. I took this one back and bought a Creative Memories album. Now they are the best!

A Quality Bargain
An avid scrapbooker, I've never strayed from KOLO brand materials, but took a chance on the less expensive "Pioneer Family Treasures 12"X12" Memory Book". Without a doubt, I am very pleased with my purchase and will certainly consider Pioneer brand supplies for future purchases.

The archival quality inserts that are included with the book are fine quality and I found them sturdy enough to not warp when using wet adhesive (glues, for instance) and no noticeable bleeding when using darker colored markers. A bonus that the purchase price includes these inserts as well as the plastic protectors. The only drawback to the protectors is that I found them a bit of a flimsy alternative to the more sturdy mylar protectors - still they do the job.

The screw post binding system is a standard with refillable scrapbooks and in the Pioneer case, also very durable.

I'm not really wild about the color scheme of the Pioneer memory books, and covering the wrap around spine design with a different fabric has proven difficult. Other than that, I have only praise for this 5-star product. Durable, archival, and an extremely reasonable price (especially considering the inclusion of 10 archival inserts and 10 protector sheets). A recommended purchase for any scrapbooker.
