| | Album Profiles Visit our blog for a selection of outstanding albums that have recently come through our bindery. As always, there were plenty to choose from, but here are a few we featured this month… Steve Sharp sent us through this exceptional album to finish off our series of posts with him, and the guys at Front Room Photography, who have chosen the road less travelled – Self Mount Digital Albums, let us feature one of their beautiful finished albums – which we don’t usually get to see. Thank you to Steve Sharp, Rodney Ellmore and Front Room Photography for participating.  Coming Up...
