Preparing and Guarding a Photo Album

This is the final step in making a Photo album/ scrap book. The old method was cumbersome: sewing signatures with tab/guards already cut, and then having to pack the book out with loose scrap paper for the normal binding operations like putting the book into a press. Making a book in the usual way and cutting the guards after binding saves a lot of time and eliminates worry about the packing moving out of position.
