Richard mon ami,
After a few flipping pages electronically, I find your concept of matching
photos to stranger's photos just beautiful! Our year books of the past have
all been wonderfully filled with excellent photography. One might describe
the layouts as very fine "orchestral style music." Still interesting to look
at and enjoy without question.

Your 2015 concept? It's still orchestral trying to describe the feeling
looking through the pages. But more like "Sweet dancing light hearted gnomes
in the garden!" 
The cross matching of some photos by two different photogs side by each
improves the impact of both photos!
Another aspect? In previous years "our two photos were side by each!" As I
flip quickly page after page looking for my two. "Oh! COOL!"  Obviously we
linger longer looking , you feel nice that you picked the best????  yeah
right?  :-)
You've seen your 2. Now it's  a kind of fast flick through the other pages.
Book is down until about 1st of Dec.when you are checking the next years'
book. 

However 2015?  :-)
It's an amazing mixture of light hearted jazz as you flip pages enjoying the
impact of photo to photo by two different photographers! ~ I feel the
matchings/matings in some cases improves the visual impact  photo to photo
due to your selections! :-)

Without question I believe the photography submitted year to year since the
first book has improved immeasurably! Then  add this photo matching 2015 and
nearly all photos jump by a 10 point rating of goodness!

And not having your two photos side by each adds to the kind of visual
excitement looking for them as you turn pages. Well that is unless you went
to the back, got the page numbers for yours! Then it was flip to the page, a
quick look? Move to next page number and second photo, quick look close book
and start a new year?

Richard Lad and your good wife have produced a very beautiful book, no
question!  :-)
cheers,
ted
PS: Oh and don't get in a sweat over the last couple of glitches simply
because the book in hand is going to blow everyone away and a glitch won't
be remembered!  :-)
