What is a post bound scrapbook?
A post-bound album has machine screws and posts that screw together to bind the book. The page protectors have holes punched in them where the posts are inserted to hold them securely in the album. Each page protector opens at the top, allowing you to slide completed scrapbook pages right into the protectors.
How do you take apart a post bound scrapbook?

How do you stick pictures down in a scrapbook?
Photos can be attached with a glue stick, double sided tape, or photo corners.

How do you bind paper to leather?

How can I protect my photos in a scrapbook?
Store and seal your photos and negatives in a sturdy container, in plastic sleeves that fit into a three-ring binder, or in acid-free envelopes that have been labeled and filed. Layout storage should be doubly protected: first in sheet or page protectors, then in appropriate albums.
