Reduced page count
By ANQRBQP7W4OGX on 2006-06-07
I've used these sketchbooks as journals for years.
The paper quality is good however, the page count has dropped from 224 pages to 176 pages and I have found the binding is more likely to break with time.
Nice sketchbook!

This is a reasonable price at about $9.00. It qualifies for free shipping, which is nice.
The pH neutral pages are supposed to never turn yellow, so that's the best thing about the sketchbook. I have a few artist sketches in my book and an artist commented that it was a really nice sketchbook. As the prior review mentioned, I'm not sure about the book binding, but hope it will last for many years. I'm not sure about the number of pages 176 or 224, but it would be nice if it was shown on the sketchbook cover. All in all, I like it.
For Masterpieces and Memories!

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!!
Black Sketchbook Heaven
By A330TC8MKXSUJW on 2007-03-08
When I purchased the black sketchbook it was for a student of mine that has an interest in art and drawing. However when I received the sketchbook it was of suck fine quality that I wanted to keep it for myself. I gave the student the sketchbook but I am going to order the exact same one for myself. The paper quality was great and the cover beautiful.
Pleased with the quality
By A13EE3HBB043NV on 2007-01-30
I recently purchased this item for my son. He likes to draw and is very good at it. I have started a collection of his drawings and this sketchbook displays his drawings. He uses black and color inks and the picture quality is extremely good. Pages do not fall out of book.
Nice sketchbook and a very pleasing price.
- Lovely Sketch Book
By A2MQM95SJ5W4LL on 2007-05-31
I'm personally not a designer or artist... but I got this book as a gift for someone who is an artist. I was surprised at the quality of the book when it arrived for the price. Seems like an amazing value to me! Once it was given to the artist who it was intended for, she absolutely loved it and said it's the best sketchbook she's gotten in a long time... and she seemed even more fond of it than the prismacolor markers I gave her with them! Go figure.
- great art book
By A1OSLP7RFWG549 on 2007-12-26
I bought this for my 12 year old. She loves to draw so I figured with a book she can draw anywhere. The outside of the book is as pictured. The pages are a good quality and she was very excited to have it. I'm not sure if she'll draw in it or use it as a journal either way I was happy with the quality of the book.
- Meh
By A3LM5942RUO9JW on 2008-06-21
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.
- Great sketchbook for the price
By A1EW9ULZC9RXQ on 2007-12-30
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.
- Great as a Notebook, too
By A2ZE8J0IQCYIE8 on 2008-08-28
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.
