If you go to the individual page for a product, it usually has a link to a 
Details Page that has full info. Most people are getting either a Card 
Collection or a Browser Book, and most are getting laminated ones, even 
though the unlaminated have the same info. (FWIW my friend has a browser 
book he says is unlaminated but it is still a pretty glossy paper and 
quite durable.)

The most helpful page I think is this one:

http://www.visibone.com/products/ccvbb.html

It compares browser book with card collection. Bottom line: cc=10 pages, 
smaller type, costs less. bb=16 pages, larger type, costs more. The only 
real content difference is the annotated HTML/CSS example sheet, which is 
in the card collection (yes, the one that is fewer pages and costs less). 
If you scroll down, it lists the full content of each, along with images 
big enough that you can easily read the text on each page.

So far we've got 12 getting card collections and 5 getting browser books, 
if that helps you decide, and of those 17 items, 14 are laminated.

Thanks,
Mac
