It has been a lot of work &#8211; particularly 2012 which was 184 pages &#8211; but worth every minute. It will be a keepsake for us and anyone who cares about our travels (siblings and children, mostly). The books were not cheap. In quantities of 10 they worked out to nearly $6 and $24 per copy, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>I used staples for the 2011 volume because it was just 28 pages, but chose the spiral binding for the larger 2012 volume. I think that was an excellent decision as it reduces wear-and-tear on the binding when being read. That should improve the longevity of the booklet. I will use spiral binding for any additional volumes of more that 50 pages.<\/p>\n<p>I was also thrilled both with the quality of the paper (70# silk finish) and the cover (100# silk finish). The vivid colors in the photographs and the overall clarity of the images were also more than satisfactory.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7095\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7095\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7095\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7095\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Example of high-quality images\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/1112181048a_HDR-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Example of high-quality images<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My printer is printi.com, in case you were thinking of doing a similar thing.
