Abstract:
Combining pictures, words, and a wealth of personal ephemera, scrapbook makers preserve on the pages of their books a moment, a day, or a lifetime. This illustrated book focus on the history of American scrapbooks - their origins, their makers, their diverse forms, the reasons for their popularity, and their place in American cultural life.
