I agree with you. You can't please everyone. I personally love the photo ones but I really don't like the first set or the crazy colors. I don't mind bright or contrasting colors but it depends on the pattern. I prefer vintage or classic art-type of style. I am an extreme not fan of modern art (though some might consider my favorite artist Degas to be more modern), but I used to live near MOMA in Philadelphia and I hated when classes said we had to go there. Again, that's me. You like the first section. And that opinion is just as valid as mine. And knowing you, you'll still find an amazing way to use the pages you don't necessarily like.

Yep, it's the same every year with people loving the pages I dislike and vice versa. I might have to give them to someone else, if I know they will like them... But it's good that we all have our own style!

Great video! I bought it too and I mostly agree with you. It's a great book. Also really was in love with the botanical autumn theme. Too many postcards indeed and I never use calendars. My favorite items are the mexican print (bright flowers), they remind me of Frida Kahlo!

Thank you! I am so glad I watched your video because I guess this will be the first Book for Paper Lovers I don't like, meaning the pages I dislike are outnumbering the pages I like. Overall an odd colour scheme. I also dislike big flowers, bold colours like pinks and purples, not a fan of "ethnic" patterns of which some of them also look like cells under a microscope and even more I don't like neon colours so I guess I will skip this one. The photos of the windows are pretty and the wallpaper ones in one colour but that's more or less it. My favourite issue is still the very first one and I am so glad I bought TWO of them! ❤

I wouldn’t buy this one, particularly at the inflated re-sale prices we have to pay in the U.S. 11 sets of postcards! 9 of them mini postcards, which are too small to mail in the U.S. as they are below the minimum size requirement for U.S. mail. I’ve generally struggled to use their mini postcards in previous Flow books (I glue them onto card stock and make cards or use them to add a note to a letter), so I definitely don’t want to be saddled with this many more. As you said, they can’t please everyone, and I agree about not liking a lot of the bold patterns (and sad photoshopped people). I think Flow should run a poll to get a sense of what people use these Flow books for. Are most people using them for letter writing? Scrapbooking? Postcards? Planner decorating? As someone else said in your comments, maybe they’d be better off doing themed books for target audiences. I’d be much more interested in a book truly geared to letter writers. Sometimes their past books have contained tons of pages of gorgeous botanical prints meant for letting writing that I absolutely loved.

Thank you for the flipthrough. I like less Pages than you from this book, so I won‘t buy it… the Styles are very different. I would prefer smaller & cheaper books with less different and more similar styles

You're welcome, thank you for watching and leaving a comment! I get what you mean, there's no mixing/matching with the styles in this book.

What kind of tripod set up do you have? I used to make these types of vids with a specific set up in a certain spot but I don’t have that anymore and my tripod feels like if I go straight down you can see the legs

This is a cool book!! Looks like it would be fun, but maybe not all of it would work for letter writers because of how large some of the papers are, unless we are to use it to write on. I love all the postcards and such though!!! That is fun. This is a gorgeous book. It is so fun. I really appreciate you sharing it with us. I especially love the photography portions and laughed when you said, "This looks like prison." hahaha. I also like softer tones...woodsy whimsical ones. I do think there could have been more stickers or letter writing paper over postcards. I like postcards and most of the people I write to collect them or involved in postcrossing, so I think they'd like that portion. I have never liked neon colors. They were huge in 1990 when I was in like kindergarten/first grade and I remember still never getting into that fad back then...and I still feel as I do.

Although I'm torn about it, I usually love going through the books! I did that the other day with the older ones, looking for green pages to use. And yes, personally I prefer double sided writing paper - I wonder why they never include those. But these are good for shorter notes or letters in swaps for example.

I got mine in the mail last week (am in Germany) and I really love it! I have all the books except for the very first one and i must say, i am very pleased! I guess it was the one from two years ago, that i wasn't that much into, but last year's and this one are great. In this one, there is only a few things that i absolutely do NOT like, like all the ages with the black-and-white people photos on it and the ones in the back that look like birthday-themed, as you called it. Oh, and the calendar is also not my taste, but as you said, you can easily use the back. So, all in all, maybe 10 pages I cannot make use of, which is an amazingly low number 🙂

Ohh so fun! I didn't know for sure if you could still order it to Germany, but I'm glad you can. I have 10 books as well, I think I miss the first 3 but I do have the nature lovers one. I have to say I am so torn about it, I don't know if I will use a lot of the book - but I do love some designs for sure.

I have mixed emotions. Like you I love the first block of patterns and the pages with textures most. Also the window themed and the neon and vellum envelopes. The black and white are the least favorites for me. I think I dont buy it. Its too expensive for what I like.
