What Jeri said is absolutely my experience. I have an almost-complete set of American Rose Annuals, and I only paid more than a dollar or two for the really early ones. If you want to sell them, eBay would be my suggestion ... but don't expect them to sell quickly unless what you have is unusual or really well priced. My BEST suggestion would be to donate what you cannot sell to your local library's book sale, take the tax deduction, and let them take the books off your hands. This said, what petaloid said may be your best bet ... put the years of your Annuals and the titles of the other books you want to sell here, and see if anyone wants to add them their libraries. I know I would, if you have something that I'm missing. Connie

What about one of the wesbites where you upload your pictures and text and then they print and bind the book for you? I think different sites allow different amounts of customization - you may do best with one that is specifically marketed to scrapbookers since I suspect you already have your layout and design in mind. But the ones I have seen have all had great image quality. As to your original question, take a look at regular papers designed for color printing with the type of printer you are using (inkjet vs. laser). 24lb would be your basic copy paper weight. Most cardstocks are 110lb. 65lb may be a happy medium that would have a bit of structure without feeling like a turning pages in a toddler's board book.

Hot off the Press aka Paper Pizzaz has several Disney books, they used to make (it may still be available) a paper book that was devoted entirely to Disneyland, and Disneyworld. They still do have several book titled "Mickey and Friends" "Mickey Playtime" and several Pooh books. Even your local Walmart should be carrying these, I know mine has several of them. They should also have the Mickey punch out books, one with Mickey alphabet, and Mickey and assorted characters. Walmart should also have Mickey and Pooh paper punches, usually kept with the rubber stamps, in the craft dept.. My daughter is a Mickey freak, so I have purchased all of these items at one time or another at Walmart, since I live so far away from a scrapbook store also. HTH Love Penny P.s. Sometimes if you call around to another walmart and they have the item you are looking for the store will ship it to your walmart. I recently found several Mickey scrapbook papers in a store where everything was priced at $1.00, so try looking for scrapbook supplies in all your local stores, you maybe surprised at the scrapbook supplies in other stores.

Thanks for the suggestions. Being that Top Gun is one of Randy's favorite movies, the "need for speed" phrase will be a good one. This book is going to be bigger than I thought when I started - it's a fun one to do. I'm still open to more ideas, too.
