Patent illustration US Patent Office Abstract
A board book album having stiff pages with hidden pockets, each pocket holding two photographs, back-to-back, that are framed in die cutout openings in each page. Spacers inside the bound and unbound edges of each page allow the page to accommodate the thickness of the photographs without damaging the binding. Each photograph is protected by a piece of clear plastic. Each page can have a small concave notch along its unbound edge in order to allow a user to turn the pages more easily. The cover can have a frame attached thereto for holding a photograph. The album is sturdy enough to be handled by a small child without the photographs being damaged.
