This book has been written for anyone who takes pictures. What's one of the first things most of us would take from our house in an emergency? Photos Yet, what's one of the last things most of us organize? Photos Most books available up until now have been focused on scrapbooking or organizing other parts of our homes and lives. This book is meant to eliminate this gap. There's no other book like this available "I'm so glad I came across this book I've always had tons of photos from over the years lying around, with no particular organization method. It wasn't until I became a parent and began taking thousands (literally, thousands ) of digital photos that I realized how desperately I needed this book and the advice of Gretchen Fatouros. Reading the book made me think, "Why am I taking all these photos but not doing anything with them?" I want my children to be able to look back on our photographs and know the stories behind them, and that's what the author shows you how to do. Her many ideas and solutions for organizing and storing not only photos but important memorabilia are practical, useful and fun In addition, she provides lots of great advice for preserving memories for future generations -- something that as a parent, I want to be able to do for my own children I especially love her advice for what to do with collections, trophies, and other sentimental memorabilia. We have a lot of that, and the book made me realize that we don't need to hang on to all the "stuff" in order to preserve the memories that go along with them Organizing and preserving all these memories can be a daunting task, but Fatouros breaks it down into different steps that are manageable and very doable for anyone, regardless of how little time you have. Fatouros fills the book with plenty of examples and photos so that you can see what she's talking about, and the layout of the book makes it very easy to read and understand. The glossary in the back is also extremely helpful and informative. Overall, this is a must-have book, regardless of the size of your family, and I will definitely be recommending it to others " KF
