    Thumbs up

    I think it's a wonderful idea, and I'm sure it's something your mother will greatly treasure!

    I would find a bookbinder - one of the old fashioned sort. Work with him to have a book built from scratch. Pages from other books can be incorporated so that ancient and modern can be mixed together. It would end up as a totally unique heirloom.

    Regards

    Did someone mention bookbinder...

    Hotrod,I'd be very have to chat to you about albulm type things, obviously I'm a bit far away , but I might be able to give you some ideas.The thought that you would want some extra space as well to add new versions would be good as well, but your idea is a lovely one
