 black hard cover sketch book September 29, 2008
This hard covered sketchbook has nice heavy paper for you to sketch on, or even draw nice scenery. This pages are large enough to draw a nice setting.
Great as a Notebook, too August 28, 2008
I work as a research scientist and have begun to use these as my standard lab notebooks. They're very durable, as compared to other books of similar style (black cover, blank pages) I've had in the past, which have had bindings that loosen, and pages that yellow. The paper quality is also very pleasant to write on -- and there are 180 pages, not 176 as some reviews say. Putting in an order for another year's worth right now.

I draw in this book with pencil and pen. The tooth is smooth, the paper has lots of clay in it. I don't love it as much as my Canson's. It is a far cry superior to Cachet's which began falling apart almost immediately.

I bought this sketchbook as a gift for my brother who is an artist. I know how picky he is, so I searched throuth many before deciding on this one. Here's why:
The Sketchbook has a thick black cover that lies flat on page one or page 176 when opened. This is PERFECT for him, because he is LEFT HANDED. No wire bound or spiral bound notebooks to worry about. This leaves the smoothest drawing surface possible.
There are a good number of blank pages in this book. One Hundred Seventy-Six to be exact! All in ONE book for ONE low price here at Amazon.
Also, the pieces of paper are high quality pages. (Thick and Strong). He's not easily worried about tears. Another upside of this is that you can erase all you'd like and not worry about creating a hole, or tearing the page in half.
Don't you hate when you have a conpleted book of art, you put it away and then a couple of years later, you're looking for a specific drawing. When you take it out, you're disappointed because the page has yellowed like an old newspaper in the sun. Well, NOT with this paper. It's Ph levels are guaranteed not to show this fault.
I know he's used pencil, (colored and lead), chalk, ink and charcoal as well. This paper is even strong enough for watercolors! The Prismacolor Pencils work great with this blank book.
All in all this book has many uses and doesn't disappoint! I highly recommend this to the artist in the family or your little up-and-coming artist that loves to finger paint! It's a nice size with thick paper and absolutely built to last!
Pick one up! You'll be glad you did!!
Great sketchbook for the price December 30, 2007
The pages of this book are thick and of high quality. The book itself is heavy and substantial but easy to open and work with. The cover was slightly scuffed which is why it's getting 4 stars and not 5. This is a new item and should have arrived blemish free.
