Dear Fair Go-er's: We recently had some problems with the binding on the Moments of the Fair photo book. The printer has fixed the binding and we would like to replace any previously-bought books. Please call 540-955-2530 to get an exchange for your book. Books are still available for sale for $30. Thank you for your patience.
