Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for retaining an article and particularly to a book for retaining photographs. More particularly, the invention relates to a photo guest book where the photographs can be placed in the photo guest book as they are taken and the subject of the photograph can contemporaneously write a description adjacent the photograph as it relates to the photograph or as it relates to the event. The photograph may be a Polaroid® photograph that develops within moments of being taken or a digital photograph that is printed immediately or at a later time. In one embodiment, a book for retaining an article comprises a first cover and a second cover with one or more pages bound together and disposed in between the first and second covers. In addition, a window for a photograph is disposed on one or more of the bound page(s), and a writing space is disposed adjacent the window.
