tom, I use albums from that I get from Porters. The reasons I like them are: They look nice, relatively inexpensive, hold 8 X 12 or 8 X 10's, there is no glass or plastic in front of the image to diminish the impact. Here is a description:
Parker Photo Albums A new and exciting way to mount photographic prints faster and easier. Available in several standard print sizes, the pages are ready made with raised "picture frame" windows embossed in the page. Prints are mounted on both sides of the page in precut frames. Prints slip into these pre-formed pockets and align themselves perfectly. Prints are held in place "as is" or if you wish, sealed with a household iron. Place the completed page in your Parker multi-ring Album. Write names, dates and places on the album pages. Beautiful, padded, simulated leather-grained multi-ring Photo Albums in protective Slip Case. Choose from four attractive colors, all with gold embossed design look like expensive volumes on a bookshelf. Large 101/2x14" album accepts a variety of multi-punched page inserts. Now one album can do it all - easily, quickly, conveniently and beautifully. Each Parker Album is complete with a protective Slip Case of matching color, a starter set of 5 embossed Heat Seal Pages for 4x6" prints, a starter set of 5 Scrapbook Pages, and a sheet of "Peel Off" Adhesive Mounting Strips. Each album accepts up to 25 pages. Elegant handcrafted albums with matching slipcovers Archival-quality pages will not damaged your precious memories All Parker pages fit this album series - mix several print sizes in the same album if you wish Ample space on pages for writing names, dates and places Albums are $16.50 and pages are $4.50 for a pack of 5 (10 pictures). The presentation is quite nice and the price is pretty good too.
