Mounting Prestige Booklets And Their Ilk In Palo And Scott Albums

I use Palo albums for certain countries, and it seems they are Scott based (without explicitly using their numbers). Scott has assigned individual numbers to some booklets, for instance French Southern & Antarctic Terr.
That entity has issued booklets called "Carnet de Voyage" that include sheetlets of stamps and post cards. Palo albums have a page where the outline would imply they expect you to mount the entire booklet. These booklets have some thickness to them.
I assume Scott has corresponding pages with spaces for the booklets

How does one mount such items? They are not flat enough to go in a Showgard mount.

Any help appreciated.

You should be able to use one of Palo's blank pages:

I might give this a try. Odd that Palo themselves don't recommend this.

Usually collectors keep complete sheetlets from booklets in albums - no idea how they keep complete booklets

The problem is that, if kept intact, the booklet can often - perhaps usually - only be stored, rather than displayed. I seem to recall whole discussions here about the pros and cons of "exploding" booklets.

I would love to know how Scott albums handle these. I would assume the sheetlets within the booklets get a lettered Scott number designation. Do Scott albums have spaces for each of those? Or do they too (like Palo) have a rectangular space for the booklet, the item with a whole Scott number?

I haven't (not ever expect to) encounter this issue, but my first thought is to find a high-res pic of said booklet and print it out in color on good paper, and mount that in the album, with a reference to where in your collection the actual booklet is stored.

BB, I see you are assuming things about the Scott catalog. I do not understand why you do not seem to own a Scott - the most needed item if you go this deep into booklets?

Palo albums follow Scott without using the numbers. There is a one to one correspondence between Scott number and a space for that item. I do not buy Scott album pages. I get Linns Stamp Monthly and know Scott assigns a unique (whole number) to these Voyage Booklets. Since I do not buy the catalogue I have no idea if they subdivide that number into its component sheetlets, nor do I know if they split the booklets into sheetlets on their album pages.

So my question boiled down to "if Scott does the same thing as Palo, and only show one space for the entire booklet, do they actually expect it to mounted and how so"

I hope this clarifies things.

Peter - if Bob is collecting TAAF/FSAT, Scott won't be the "most needed" item - Yvert's DOM catalogue would be a better bet -

Banana- I have my Great Britain prestige booklets in dedicated albums with lockers foe two booklets per page. You rightly identify the problem w "unexploded" booklets of only seeing the outside. I'm unwilling to "explode" mine, despite the added steps required to look at the actual stamps! Classic Paper's suggestion seems brilliant to me.

Does Scott or Minkus ever provide spaces for whole booklet panes? I have only seen spaces for singles or strips without all the selvage. If the sheet has all unique stamps (like a 10 stamp sheet with 10 different designs) it is collected as sheet but if say 4 designs on a 20 stamp booklet/sheet, the individual stamps are collected.

I was hoping someone else here collected FSAT and used Scott pages, and could explain what they do with the Voyage booklets. Oh well. I'm not going to tear them apart.
