ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an album apparatus comprising an album binder and a plurality of an album leaf. Each album leaf, preferably a sheet of a flexible material, provides a binding portion and a page portion interconnected by a linear fold portion. The linear fold portion allows flexible, pivotal rotation of each one of the associated page portions with respect to each one of the associated binding portions of the album leaf. The album binder has a resiliently flexible binder spine which is hinged to a pair of binder covers. The fold portion preferably includes a plurality of perforations therein, the perforations being linearly aligned for establishing a preferred fold line in the material sheet. The binding portion of each album leaf is clamped to the binder spine, such that the binding portion extends outside of the binder spine and the linear fold portion is above the hinged connection between the binder cover and the binder spine.
