Being able to flip through other people's scrapbooks, memorializing movements and eras past, I'd have to say that's absolutely the best use of the Internet this is. These are wonderful, thank you so much for sharing.

Yes, click the cover picture once and then you're given a choice for "next image" or to choose the page number.

good post.
