India is very much different than Canada. They look for different things at the interviews. Very often i have seen that in India they request many many many photos and special photos of things that the culture does before weddings etc. some countrys need to front load with more than others do.

I would say Yes add photos but keep the book for the interview (you may or may not get the book back). Make some scans of the photos 2 to a page or something like that and sent a few pages of copys of the photos. write dates/places/names on the photos. If you have more than 1 book and you want to send the book go ahead.

We put 92 photos in a plastic bag; all were labeled with who was in them, the date and where we were.

Yes, we went overboard. Especially for London.
