A well-written and excellently-illustrated treatment of scrapbooks from a historical perspective. ( )

Heard about this book on the To the Best of Our Knowledge show called Reconsidering Craft, 12/14/2008: http://www.wpr.org/book/081214a.cfm.

I was not quite convinced about some of the more abstract claims about scrapbooks in relation to time and space (mainly because I did not fully understand them), but the descriptions of heavily edited and formatted blank scrapbooks that people could purchase and complete in the later chapters were amusing and interesting.
