    Pros:
    Cons:
    All the sketchbooks from the hardback series like this are very attractive. The reason I bought my first one was because of its visual appeal. The original I bought was in a hobby/art store, great quality for the price ( the sketch version, not the version above). The markers I used would sometimes bleed to the pages below so I invested in drawing version of the same series. ( the sketch version is great for pen and pencil)

    The drawing version (the one above) offers higher quality paper and mitigates the problem nicely. I would strongly recommend this sketchbook to anyone. The quality is wonderful, it will lay flat once you break the spine, the binding is great even after ripping out a few pages and again, one of the most attractive sketchbooks I have ever owned. I plan to continue buying this book.
