This is the first review I have written on anything, ever. But, as an artist, I am telling you that this is the best sketchbook you will ever find...I carry it around with me everywhere...the more distressed it gets, the better it looks. I also love the way it closes (it folds over with a slightly magnetic clasp that is not visible). That attention to detail is wonderful!

My husband is an artist. He must have a hundred sketch books. Each has a few sketches in them. He seems to love to collect sketchbooks and pens. They are all over the house and he is always getting a new one. Anyway, I got this one for him as a gift and he really likes it. Says the cover is good quality, and it does look pretty. He also commented that the paper is a good weight and smoothness for both pencil and ink sketching. So, I did well!

These "Super size" journals made by this company (Paper Blanks) are my absolute favorite for bringing through my books in longhand.

I ordered several of another "super Size" journal, as Amazon gives a great discount on these. Now, they are not available anymore. They do have them in book stores but for full list price. Amazon ALWAYS has the BEST prices for books anywhere - usually around 32% discount.

The magnetic close clasp clicks this journal in place, protecting the pages. I have many of these in different sizes. The "super size" gives the most for the $. If you notice they are "in stock" order them while you can. It seems that once they run out of stock they are no longer available.

The quality of the paper, the old world look, everything about this journal is fantastic. After using so many different types of writing journals, this line is my favorite. I believe you'll be as delighted with the quality as I am.

This was one of the few blank journals that I could find that wasn't pocket sized. I love the paper quality, hidden magnet fastener, and the distressed look for the cover. Definitely a great buy.
