Abstract: The invention comprises cover holders for use in a loose-leaf photograph album, the cover holders having greater strength, and being more economical to manufacture, than prior art cover holders for similar albums. The preferred loose-leaf photograph album includes a pair of covers enfolding a plurality of leaves. The covers and the leaves are laced together by means of straps which lace through hinge elements projecting from the leaves and through slots in the covers. The straps are frictionally held at their ends by means of the cover holders, which are positioned on opposite sides between the outer leaves and the covers.
