8.5x11 Sketch Book, Pack of 2, 240 Sheets (100gsm), Hardcover Bound Sketch Notebook, 120 Sheets Each, Acid-Free Blank Drawing Paper, Ideal for Kids and Adults, Kraft Cover

There are so many things about these sketchbooks that I love!! First off, these are exactly what I need for my purposes: drawing and inking cartoons. At first, I was a bit worried if the paper would handle my Sakura Microns and Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens. But, I am happy it does!! Secondly, the quality of the paper. It's mainly smooth but it does have a little bit of texture, which I personally like. Third, the sketchbooks have a completely customizable cover! This is a HUGE bonus for me. I love customizing a sketchbook cover that is personal to me! Plus, it looks like it can handle a lot of materials, like paint and marker pens (I will present a picture once I customize it).Now off to the things the sketchbooks offer (this is for the 8.5"x11" sketchbook). When closed, the height of the sketchbook (including the cover) is exactly one inch, making the height two inches when stacked on top of each other. The total number of sheets of BOTH sketchbooks is 240, making each sketchbook contain 120 sheets. I think that is a good deal for sketchbooks, especially for the price. Speaking of which, the price is very reasonable. I have seen few sketchbooks that cost around 20 - 30 dollars PER sketchbook. These are basically two for one (if compared to those expensive sketchbooks).Overall, these are good sketchbooks that serve their purpose. These will sure last me about a year and a half to two years.(all art shown in the photos belong to me)

My friend and I are HUGE Gravity Falls fans, so we decided to order these and make our OWN 'Journal 3' and come up with our own storyline and fictional creatures. I was a little worried when these came that it would be too small or thin, but it was neither! These books are HUGE! They're even bigger than the official Journal 3 book, and I am very, very satisfied. I highly recommend these books to any people who like blank decorative books or sketchbooks. The paper is off-white and creamy, just what we needed. The pages are thick and can withstand a lot. They are very well-binded and sturdy. 10/10 review, will be buying again.

I am extremely pleased with the heft of the paper, as well as its surface. It doesn't bleed from Pigma Micron pens, and even with my somewhat heavy hand, there is only trace indentation on the following page as I draw. Plus the simple and sturdy cover, with NO labels affixed, is perfect.

Good quality paper and a lot of it. Good for light sketching and drawing.

My new favorite sketchbook!! I will be buying a bunch more!!!

They came in on time and in good condition.

The books are sturdy and paper is good quality. I use it to sketch, and journal. Markers do not bleed through so I'm able to use both sides of pages.

I LOVE these books! You can easily do what you want to the cover. If you decide to paint it, be sure to modgepodge over it so it seals it in and the paint does not chip or fade!

Just what I was wanting. Big blank book with nice writing paper. I will be buying more

This two pack of A4 hard bound sketchbooks is a real bargain. I was struggling to find an A4 sketchbook with more than the normal page count. Nearly everything out there is slimline and lacking bulk, but not so here. I’ve not tested the paper, but I’m one of these people that doesn’t really care about bleed through and ghosting. This is a sketchbook, not a portfolio, and will be full of rough drawings and practice sketches of no interest to anyone but myself. That said it feels thick, but not too thick, and will probably handle most mediums.I also love the minimalistic styling. Good firm board, with a kraft paper appearance, totally void of any wording or brand names.Highly recommended.

I love these sketchbooks and they are exactly as expected. I was really looking forward to them and I’m excited to start using them. The paper is very thick and I love the fact I can create my own cover. I am taking away one star because the packaging was poor and the corner got damaged (I assume during the transport). They were also very expensive to be honest.
