Photo Album Binding

I was given a photo album as a gift. As I have been adding pictures the binding has started to come away. Some of the pages have even detached themselves from the binding making it easier to lose the pages….

Any ideas? Can this be fixed? The book was a gift from my Mom to me for my Daughter’s photos so I don’t want to have to buy a new book.

Thanks!!!
It is not a ring binder.

they make a special glue for book bindings. Maybe google 'book repair supplies'... or www.ask.com
I'm not sure 'where' it is sold nowadays. Maybe you can ask someone at the local library- as they are the ones who use it the most.

Binding w/ Photo Album Insert - www.Paperstudio.com

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 I am creating a very professional-looking photo album from photos from my wedding. To make sure I design it correctly, I need to get in contact with a local printer to print and bind the photos into a book.

My question is how do I find a place that will do this? Where do Wedding Photographers go to have books made from the photos they take?

I want our book to be large (i.e. 12x12) and have the fold-flat pages, not like your typical binding like you would find on a hard-cover novel-style book.

A quick note: I am NOT looking for an online publishing company like www.mypublisher.com or www.photoworks.com or www.shutterfly.com or www.kodakgaller.com or others UNLESS they offer fold-flat pages (this might not be the correct term for that binding style) so please don't waste your time recommending these sites unless you know of one that does that style of binding. All the ones that I have listed so far do NOT have that style of binding.

Thanks!

Generally, the photographers that I utilize to get the images for the magazine I work for are freelancers. Those freelance photgraphers usually photograph weddings, commercial images for product catlogues, pretty much anything to get their bills paid, by using their cameras.
When it comes time for those that shoot weddings to create wedding albums, I believe that the use professional printers, or commercial printers, in order to print out on quality photo stock, as well as bind those albums. Not having to bind those albums, I cannot be sure. I'm positive though, that any printer you go to might only have certain size stock to choose from, and it is my advice that you work within those specs, in order to save yourself in production costs.
I'm not sure where you live, but if you'd only call a professional photographer's studio and ask them where to get it done, preferably a studio that specializes in wedding albums, then I'm sure that they'd be willing to help you with this!
I'm also kind of hesitant to send you in the direction of a commercial printer, knowing that you processed all of the images yourself, on your home computer.
I'm not sure what software that you used to process the images, but I would caution you to make sure that the images you plan on printing are notonly the proper size and resolution, but also that those same images are in a format and color platform that are compatible with the printer's specifications.
If you were using a newer version of Photoshop, CS/CS2, I'd be more than willing to let you in on how to batch process those same images and save yourself TONS of time.
I hope things work out for you and that this album comes together for you! I love it when people take pride in things for themselves and like to get their own hands dirty!

Yesterday, I took the album outside on an very hot day, and placed it in a chair. I sat next to it, and a brown stain is now on my pink bike shirt. Any suggestions how to remove the stain from my shirt?

wet the shirt then rub a few drops of mild shampoo onto the stain, place the garment back into cold water and let it soak overnight. Rinse the shirt clean in cold water in the morning if the stain is still there rub it with salt. It should work.

This is for a picture album I am giving as a gift. I will add the one scrabook page to the existing photo pages. The gift is for an interior designer who is just starting out that she can use to hold pictures of her work-sort of like an informal portfolio. The title page text is "These designs of mine, by (her name)."
Basketcase, you are right on. Those are great ideas! I had been wondering what I would do with the backside of my title page...now I am planning to use it as her table of contents. Thank you!!!

Keep it simple, I'm sure there are furniture themed papers out there, or I know there are papers that look like fabrics (damasks, paisleys, toile, etc.). Maybe also put a blank piece of paper that she can keep like a table of contents...with the job name, date, etc. right in the front so she can go right to the page she needs to show a prospective client without flipping through the whole book. That's a very sweet gesture, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
