An heirloom for the grandkids.......2007-10-03
A collection of questions and spaces for photos that act as a useful prompt for grandparents to record all those things that a grandchild might wonder about later in life.
Nicely presented, but I worry about the paper sleeve over the hardcover getting torn. Also, it would be nice to provide pockets for photos rather than just spaces.
The questions are good and far ranging however some are USA-specific, for example: 'who was president...'.
All in all a worthwhile purchase.

Perfect gift for my Mother-in-Law.......2006-04-28
This is a hardcover scrapbook about 9.5" x 11" x 1" thick. The front of the hard cover has an oval cutout, so Grandmother can place a photo on the inside front of the first page. Inside it has 40 spiral bound pages, front and back, with an instruction page that can be ripped out once you catch on. Each 2 page topic has a place for photos and notes, already decorated with relevant pictures and designs. (I looked all over for the perfect book so I know details help!)
It's definitely a Christian book - a bible verse on every page, and very spiritually minded. Many of the topics involve a traditional family setting, including pages detailing Grandmother's love story and wedding, although only basics are mentioned about Grandchild's parents, so this book would suit a grandchild with a single mother nicely.
It is written so that you'd want to have a separate book for each child (so Mom-in-law will be getting another for baby #2). There are a couple pages that dicuss Grandchild's favorite things, like movies, books and games, as well as things they did and said. This book might be given from Grandmother to Grandchild at a milestone birthday, but not at birth.
I had to order it directly from Integrity Publishers, but it was cheaper and shipped quickly. I am more than pleased with this product.
My mom loves it.......2005-12-18
I gave this book to both my mother and mother-in-law last year and they really like them. My mother-in-law is not really a scrapbooker so ready-made format is perfect for her. My mom is a scrapper, but she still likes the ready-made one since she can work on it quickly when the mood strikes, without stressing about the right colours, or what to write. All three of us like the religious focus placed on memories of Christmas and Easter. My mom says she's not much of a journaler, but that it is easy with this format where the topics are there for you.
Book Description
Memory scrapbooks are a great way for kids and their grandparents to collect and record their shared memories. They'll spend many hours together filling in names to complete a family tree, discussing what they like to do when they're together and noting each other's likes, dislikes, talents and traits. Designed like the other books in this popular series, there are lots of places to draw, paste in photos and write. There's even a pocket at the back to hold letters and souvenirs and a die-cut space in the front cover for a special photo of grandmother and child!

Wonderful Keepsake!.......2004-11-12
I have spent many hours filling out my portion of the book for my grandaughter! We live far apart and I can't wait to share this with her. This is a wonderful way to preserve our bond today. As a genealogist I am pleased with the way the family tree is connected through the grandmother to the grandchild. My husband is a little jealous and now wants to get the grandfather's book to complete!
My Grandmother and Me.......1999-12-28
This is a "Must Have" for all grandmothers and grandaughters. It is written in a "kid friendly" manor that is appealing to all that share in the fun. Use this as a keep sake that represents the bond that occurs between grandmother and grandaughter. My mother and daughter love spending time together writting their own special thoughts in this book. It is a great gift that will be cherished forever!
Book Description
A scrapbook of memorabilia chronicles the tender and sometimes zany moments shared between Grandma and her granddaughter during their seaside summers. Pages of the lively scrapbook are interspersed with watercolor-rendered photographs of the girl, now a teenager, as she reminisces about their relationship. The last summer in the scrapbook reveals how their roles have changed. Now the girl guides Grandma's wheelchair to places Grandma once brought her on the back of her bike or in a stroller. This poignant story uplifts and dignifies the experience of aging and loss, tingeing it not with sadness, but with hope and wonder.

Winner (...).......2001-12-17
An older girl doesn't remember when her grandma's hair was as black as a crow, but she cherishes the lock of it in her grandma's scrapbook. Pictures, wisps of her own baby hair, a flower, and a shell all hold the power of memory. Each precious item tells a story and becomes a living legacy as the girl shares the story of her grandma's scrapbook. With a majestic grace we are reminded that with loss comes sorrow, but memory offers comfort and joy.
The beauty of the illustrations underscores the beauty of the message in GRANDMA'S SCRAPBOOK. Illustrator Maureen Hyde brings her love of classical art to bear with her own fluid style, creating illustrations that look and feel like snapshots out of time yet are rich with intensity and emotion. Likewise, Josephine Nobisso pens a poignant tale of memory and joy captured in the pages of a scrapbook and shared through generations. Children will warm to this poignant tale, wishing to create their own scrapbook of priceless memories. Destined to become a classic, GRANDMA'S SCRAPBOOK comes very highly recommended.
Lovely, Sensitive Story.......2001-01-05
Grandma's Scrapbook is the companion book to Josephine Nobisso's Grandpa Loved. In this gentle, tender story, a girl looks back on all the wonderful summers she spent with her grandmother. Grandma has made remembering easy, because she kept a special scrapbook of their times together..."Grandma started that scrapbook because I was once too young to remember, and because one day, I may get too old to remember." Maureen Hyde's beautiful, detailed artwork enhances the story with just the right expressive touch. And, even though we find out that Grandma has died at the end of the book, the story is not maudlin, but uplifting and told with honesty, wisdom and much love.
I sent it to Grandma!.......2000-10-03

Scrapbooking is to today's families what quilting was to the women of 19th-century America, with family heritage enjoying a revival among today's crafters.

Organized by theme, these mounting sheets include a design for a family tree, space for family stories, and printed frames ready to be filled with family photos.

Book Description
When Bob Kane’s seminal Batman first reached newspapers during World War II, only a small group of papers published it. So the early Batman and Robin comic strips have remained among the most elusive works in comics’ history. Not anymore: these rare Sunday color pages are now reprinted in a generously sized format worthy of their importance. The many fans of the Caped Crusader will thrill to see Batman and the Boy Wonder do battle once again with both common thugs and outrageous villains in order to save Gotham City from plot after evil plot. Making their nefarious way across these illustrated panels are some of the Caped Crusader’s most indelible adversaries, including the Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, and Two-Face. In addition to behind-the-scenes information and rare promotional materials, this deluxe edition collects the first four years of the classic Batman and Robin newspaper comics exactly as written and illustrated by the strip’s most famous writers and artists. Among the classic stories are: “The Penguin’s Crime-Thunderstorms,” “Catwoman’s Grasshopper Chase,” and “Half Man—Half Monster.”

BATMAN'S FORGOTTEN CLASSICS.......2007-05-22
The 1940's weren't just the golden age for comic books they were also the golden age for newspapers. Still several years before television would become prevalent, newspapers would be the primary way American's got their daily news as millions of copies were sold each day. And of course, inside those millions of newspapers were comic strips of all kinds. Today, the episodic comic is almost dead. With dwindling circulations for most newspapers, people just don't have the time or patience to pickup their daily paper and read the adventures of their favorite characters.
One of the comic's most famous characters was adapted into strip format when Batman & Robin debuted in both daily and Sunday color strips in 1943. This was right smack in the middle of World War II when paper drives reduced the circulation of many newspapers and Batman's debut actually represents a pretty rare spot in the annals of comic strips because of this. The Sunday strips are even more rare as many papers who carried the daily strips opted to not carry the full-color Sundays.
This landmark hardcover edition from Sterling Publishing reprints all of the Batman & Robin Sunday strips from November 1943 to October 1946 and includes 26 different chapters, or story arcs if you modernists prefer. While Batman creator Bob Kane gets the sole credit on each and everyone of the Sunday strips, the fact is that Kane was only involved in a handful of the chapters. Jack Burnley, who just passed away in December of 2006 at the ripe old age of 95, provided the art on most of the strips while the writing chores were handled by longtime Batman writer Bill Finger and also Al Schwartz. While various parts of this era's Sunday strips have been reprinted previously, this is the first time the run has been reprinted in full.
The Sunday colors were given enormous space by today's standards, as each consisted of eleven panels. You had to be a popular character to command that kind of space on a comic page! Each chapter generally ran from four to six weeks and were untitled. Titles have been given to each chapter, usually based on a phrase used in the strip or based on the plot. Thankfully there is an index to each chapter, otherwise there's no way to really tell visually when one chapter ends and another begins.
Batman encounters some of his most famous villains within these pages including The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, and Two-Face, although most of the encounters are with garden variety criminals. In "Gotham's Cleverest Criminal" the Joker uses a trick football to escape prison--not to go after Batman, but rather a rival female criminal called the Sparrow who is stealing the Joker's limelight.
In addition to the strips themselves, the book features background notes, including full story credits on each of the chapters, often relating where the story fits in terms of continuity with the regular Batman and Detective Comics issues. This historical information alone is worth the price of the book. You also get detailed biographies on all of the writers, artists, letterers, and editors who were involved in the Batman & Robin strips. The color had been re-mastered and looks stunning...probably even better than it looked when originally published over 60 years ago. These strips are great fun and serve to maintain the legacy of a great character and a bygone era!
