REVIEW
Excellent idea and very needed. Shocking to see the thumbnail size pictures where there’s multiple to a page but even the photos that are full size for the pages, this is way way too small to be satisfying. Please offer this in normal or even large size as the normal size I purchased (the only option available) isn’t the right size for this kind of book.
