Sketchbook 5.5 x 8" Black Spiral Hardcover Mixed Media Sketchbook for Drawing: Acid-Free Quality Paper (128 pages) (Union Square & Co. Sketchbooks)

I received the book in the mail within a week after i ordered it, and I have had it for 11 months. It was smaller than i had thought upon arrival, but, for me, that's what I was hoping for.Quality: The book is thick, the cover is smooth and textured and if you paint on the cover it will last, pages are thick enough for some water color, the only bleeding I have personally noticed was when i used heavy amounts of sharpie but that wasn't a problem for me because there are so many pages. Also, if you do not like one of your drawings that you drew in the book, the pages are perforated so that you can tear them to remove them. The book has withstood every day carrying in a backpack and so has the paint on the front.Unboxing: Came in a cardboard envelope, brand new, no scratches or creases. Just one sticker on the front.Final Thoughts: Definitely worth the money if you're looking for heavy paper that can hold up to all your art. Looking to purchase another one when the one i currently have fills up.

I've been looking all over for a sketchbook with perforated pages - I'm really one of those artists that loves to sketch, tear things out to trace or to redraw, then place it back in. The pages themselves are thick - I feel like you could use all sorts of mediums in this, though heavy markers or paint may bleed through a bit. I love the red cover that this one has as well... I just wanted something different apart from the common black sketchbook that you see everywhere. Get one of these if you want something that sets you apart!

I have been using this book to learn and practice zen tangle art work. The paper is heavy, no spreading of inks, holds the picture or image exactly as I create it. I love the binding because it lets me get to every angle of the paper without dealing with my hand bumping up against the binding making it easy to use. I have used for inks, pencils, markers and it works well for each of these. I love this book and plan to buy more.

Quality is decent. Paper isn't too thin for markers.STICKER ON FRONT TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO REMOVE. IT TORE TO PIECES AND NEEDED ALL THOSE STICKER REMOVER LIFE HACKS.

This is a handy little sketchbook but the color is more garish than I expected. However, the book is sturdy and the wiring holds up well and has not warped or bent like some of my other sketchbooks. The pages are high quality but best for drawing rather than painting or watercolor- they will bleed through. For the price, this sketchbook is worth buying.

I bought one book and was impressed by the quality that I bought another one for my sister's birthday. It has thick, heavy, plain paper. I also ordered Sharpie Pens to use with it because they don't bleed through. Good quality.

This sketchbook is awesome for the price and size. You can tear out the pages easily. Easy to draw on. Though it is not the highest quality. It is still an good buy!

Pretty good. Only thing is the photo is not really accurate. (Not referring to the two options.)I bought the top spiral one and the image shows it being a small spiral. It's not. The spiral is large. No biggie, just wasn't accurately depicted in the photo.

Minha resenha refere-se ao "Sketchbook Large Bound Red" -- embora esteja aparecendo em todos da marca.Fiquei um pouco decepcionada. Estava acostumada a comprar os Sketchbooks da W&N por aqui, e achei que esse fosse da mesma qualidade -- mas deixa um pouco a desejar. O papel é bom, acetinado e de uma boa gramatura, do jeito que eu gosto -- mas a encadernação é mais fraca, dois dos três que eu comprei já vieram com as pontas amassadas, as páginas perfuradas pareciam uma boa ideia, mas mais atrapalham do que ajudam: dificultam dobrar as folhas, fazem dobras indesejadas. Não dão uma sensação de tão alta qualidade como os da W&N. Para quem gosta de abrir o caderno em 180º, também é difícil (o picote ainda destaca a folha se você tentar forçar).

As folhas são boas, aguenta até aquarela, não passa para o outro lado, fica apenas uma pequena sombra. Acho esse sketchbook mais ideal para nanquim e lápis de cor, marcadores nem tanto, nn aguenta mais q uma camada sem borrar.

Gostei do papel!

Capa dura texturizada. Gramatura grosso ( não informa qual) mas aguenta aquarela.*Comprei pra li um comentário que confirmava, aguentar uso de aquarela

O produto é feito de um material muito bom, a encadernaçao é muito bem feita, as folhas são lisas e o papel nao é tão poroso e texturizado, para mim que desenho com nanquim é bom, pois a tinta nao é absorvida. A possibilidade de destacar as folhas também é excelente, posso escanear meus desenhos sem dificuldade.
