A!
I got this today as part of my "cheer-me-up"/"get well fast" gifts (got my wisdom teefs out this morning...ow!, and started a new semester this week), and it's SO TINY AND CUTE.
I had a little trouble getting the front flap to fold down to let the aperture bits stretch out, but once I put my fingernail to the little tab, it worked well. I LOVE the little case for it! I got Beatrice a digital camera for Christmas that will fit into the case, too, if I decide to remove the Brownie for a photo session.
Also, the photogaph book is EXACTLY like all the ones my Nanny and Pa had for their scrapbooks and photoalbums. I wish there were little photocorners for the pictures, but I'll make some myself. Oh, wait, the cover is different from theirs, but still very similar! Pa was born in 1925 and Nanny was born in 1932, so I just love how obviously accurate it is for that time period. It made me squee in glee, even though I had expected AG to be accurate.
One of the small details I saw is that the back of the camera has a little number wheel. It is tiny, but has a "6" or "9" listed - I think it's a "6" indicating that the next photo taken will be the sixth one - afterall, she has five photographs in her album already. Too cute!
The only other thing I'd wish is that the camera itself had a strap to go around the neck, instead of the small handle, but I think getting one jury-rigged would be easy as pie. (mmm, pie!)
