If you put your name and contact info right in the cover window, well there's no mistaking to whom that Kolo Essex Travel Book belongs. This cover window option takes a little moxie. But this Kolo Essex owner is no shrinking violet. Indeed, "shot out of a cannon," she was!

Photojournalist Mikki Ansin has worked with Merchant Ivory Productions, the Carter White House and The Kennedy Foundation. Her photos have appeared in Time, Life, People, The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Paris Match and The London Times.

She sent in this photo of her medium Kolo Essex Travel Book and these comments:

Really, I just slid my name and info into the cover window as I was doing several things at once, pasting updated email addresses on my old cards, talking on the phone... and everything was all in one place...including a camera... (So she snapped this picture and sent it in.)

I love the photo insert booklet's 4x6 format for bringing photos with me (I’m going to London this July) and I love the medium size etc. I’m using it with an unlined insert booklet which I always prefer - thus I can sketch or paste or color as part of a trip journal.
