From Booklist
And they keep coming--that is, books on the craft of preserving memories, rediscovered in the late 1980s after centuries of dormancy, which seems to continue its appeal. This new book underscore why this billion-dollar-plus industry increases its revenues, year after year.Count on Firefly to add more than a dollop of professionalism to any art or craft. In the hands of Beaman, capturing nostalgia and memories is an endeavor made permanent, with her emphasis on 100 techniques. Included in the categories are book binding, preparing photographs, creating text, and handling loose memorabilia, among a dozen-plus topics. Each is infused with a goodly sense of adherence to great graphic design principles as well as step-by-step color photographs. (How could, for instance, anyone argue with her statement to stick with one type or font?) The 25 projects highlight family memories, from vacations to romantic occasions, featuring, yes, a step-by-step format but, just as important, tips for choosing pictures. An elegant introduction to popular pictorial presentations.
