What will your book look like?

Your book may be a blank paged new and crispy brightly colored journal.

Maybe a photo album with sticky pages.

Maybe an old oversized book of maps.

I've picked out an old science textbook for Michele if she wants it - It has a great cover of all kinds of critters. I saw a beautiful version of Wuthering Heights. The cover was an engraving of a distraught man looking up into the sky under a huge tree. It was $18 so I did not get it - but hid it if anyone wants to.

For myself I picked out a vintage book about advertising. The content was something I thought was interesting, but I picked the book because the cover is mustard, chocolate, and orange. All my favorite colors. The book pages are a good size, too. I think I can fit two 4x6 photos on each page.

To answer the question for yourself start with the basics. It should provide a protective covering for it's contents and have a good binding. It's personal characteristics should reflect your taste. Hopefully, it is already something you own and just have to dig out.

I will have some books I picked up at the antique store there for sale - all are under $5.
