"delightful...The 65 b & w images scattered throughout are a visual feast: a prostitute's business card, newspaper photos of FDR, late-19th-century advertising cards, paper dolls, postcards, awards, Singer sewing machine ads, Bible cards. Scholars and scrapbookers alike will enjoy these slices of social history." Publishers Weekly "This compilation is very important because it brings so many different topics and approaches together.... It provides insights into ways in which scholars might be able to use scrapbooks as important historical documents." Georgia Barnhill, American Antiquarian Society, "This is not a how-to but a 'why' book; a serious, systematic investigation of the history of an enduring tradition." Library Journal"delightful...The 65 b & w images scattered throughout are a visual feast: a prostitute's business card, newspaper photos of FDR, late-19th-century advertising cards, paper dolls, postcards, awards, Singer sewing machine ads, Bible cards.

It provides insights into ways in which scholars might be able to use scrapbooks as important historical documents." Georgia Barnhill, American Antiquarian SocietyA wondrous, captivating book on a unique topic: the history of scrapbooking in the U.S...it is a book requiring time for in-depth reading." Booklist"[T]he book shows that the ephemera of daily life people choose to preserve, and how they preserve it, are appropriate topics of study for historians of material culture, specialists in American literature, and indeed anyone interested in how people make meaning, memory, and identity out of transient events and materials....Highly recommended." Choice"This is a useful collection....The essays provide a backdrop that illuminates continuities and divergences in scrapbooking past and present." Journal of Folklore"The Scrapbook in American Life is a welcome addition to the research on collections people keep." The Journal of American History"The Scrapbook in American Life explains how and why our ancestors pursued this enduring hobby...you'll enjoy this look into an old-fashioned hobby-doubly so if you're lucky enough to have your ancestor's scrapbook." Family Tree Magazine"The work begins with an excellent historical introduction...While many of the essays included in The Scrapbook in American Life could stand alone as interesting works on various historical aspects of the scrapbooking tradition, together they provide the first methodical and wide-ranging examination of a widespread but often ignored aspect of material culture. At a minimum, this work will draw scholars' attention to these individual and social constructions of material culture." H-Net Reviews"An eclectic and electrifying anthology of social history...It's a collection that serves as a testament to the ways in which individuals throughout history have captured the essence of their culture for themselves as well as for curious, kindred souls." The Courier-Journal
