slots are about 2" x 2"” but they are too small to hold 2 x 2
cardboard holders. The book measures 6.25” x 4.5” and
even has an opening in the back to hold a favorite vacation photo! I only have 5 of these books, and I am offering them here exclusively. Unsold books may appear on Ebay in the
future, though – but I will not be offering them there at a cheaper price. Retired with attraction’s
closure in 2020. We are still selling
