If you are looking for the School Days Memories Album: Publications International let this go out of print several years ago. We have called the company and written to them (847-676-3470, 7373 North Cicero Ave, Lincolnwood, IL, 60646) to inquire, and they insist it is in print and available at stores such as Target. No one has been able to find it there. What they may be referring to is their newer product, the School Years Memory Keeper, which has a similar format of two-sided pocket pages. If you liked the School Memories Album, you may like the School Years Memory Keeper.
