Review: great for painters but not for sketch artists - I purchased this when the sketchbook version was sold out this year. and while I have made it work dry media floats all over the surface of this book when your drawing in simple HB graphite. its maddening. the book looks filthy all the time. so if you need a sketchbook - use a sketch book. But for painting in watercolor this book is really great - fabulous!! Color goes down smoothly and lifts effortlessly when needed. a great watercolor book to be sure. So even if your favorite book is sold out - use this for its intended purpose and you won't be dissapointed!
Review: Perfect for many Creative activities - I love these books for their continuous pages. I keep a daily journal that includes stamping, drawing, and stickers. The entries can flow into one another and create a better picture of my life. I began with the Pocket size but changed to the larger so I could expand my entries.
