Pros & Cons
Pros
An absolutely beautiful notebook. Paper is wonderful. This is absolutely beautiful.
It's not as sleek and doesn't take as long for my pens to dry which has greatly reduced my smudging. The only ghosting i see i have issues with is if i go to town coloring with very dark colors--and honestly, that's expected when i get arty with cover... Read More
Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product. It’s my 2nd time ordering from this business and i am so thrilled.
There is a complaint that the pages don't always perfectly line up in the middle. Between two adjacent (face to face) pages, they're almost always aligned. It’s also a little bit bigger and has a few more pages than the stm.
Cons
This ego, this flaw is enough for me to put up a review of how much i hate that they did it this way. This is super disappointing and i wish i had taken a closer look at the reviews before buying.
The price of these sketchbooks doubled because of poor shipping. The shipping is not very good at protecting from damage during transit. Practically this means that the price is doubled by needing to use about four books per year instead of two.
I'm bummed. These used to be it - they're not anymore. Will be returning. This is sad.

Competitiveness
Good notebook to use as a bujo and journal.
It’s the most well-made journal i have ever had.
The ink dries fast on the page, which is great if you like to use pencil first then go over your work with a fineliner and then... Read More
I have tried several popular brands of journals.
