Historically, the term "album" was applied to a collection of various items housed in a "book" format. An album is used for the collection and preservation of miscellaneous items such as photographs, postage stamps, coins or currency, newspaper clippings, visitors' comments, etc. It can be either a book or binder.

An album can have a hard cover with pages that are sewn in, adhesive bound, or fastened with spiral wire or plastic binding. An album can also be a hard cover loose leaf binder with pages that can be added or removed.

Bookbinding

Bookbinding is the process of physically assembling a book from a number of folded or unfolded sheets of paper or other material. It usually involves attaching a book cover to the resulting text-block. Before the computer age, the bookbinding trade involved two divisions.

First, there is stationery or vellum binding which deals with making new books intended to be written into, such as accounting ledgers, business journals, and guest log books, along with other general office stationery such as note books, manifold books, portfolios, and etc. Second is letterpress binding which deals with making new books intended to be read from and includes fine binding, library binding, edition binding, and publisher's bindings. A result of the new bindings is a third division dealing with the repair, restoration, and conservation of old used bindings. With the digital age, personal computers have replaced the pen and paper based accounting that used to drive most of the work in stationery binding. Today, modern bookbinding is divided between hand binding by individual craftsmen versus mass-produced bindings by high speed machines in a bindery factory.

Looseleaf

Loose Leaf is a form of publishing invented by Richard Prentice Ettinger in 1913. As an assistant to his Princeton University tax professor he was tasked with publishing the professors book. The first print run sold well and he ordered a second print run from an outside printing company.

On the very day that this second print run arrived, the United States Congress changed the tax law enough so the book was outdated. Faced with this challenge, Ettinger came up with the idea of cutting the pages (leafs) loose, replacing the few pages where changes in the tax code had occurred, drilling holes though the pages and putting them into a ring-binder. Now all future changes of the tax code could easily be accommodated by simply exchanging single leafs.

As early as the mid-20th century, some restaurants have relied on “menu specialists” to design and print their menus.

Gane offers our menu manufacturers a variety of materials for simple one-page menus, flush cut functional menus, and aesthetically appealing turned-edge menus.
