Review on Stillman & Birn Zeta Wirebound Sketchbook: 6x8, 270gsm Extra Heavyweight, Smooth Surface by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very heavy and thick paper but damaged

This album was wrapped in plastic like new but one page was damaged. One of the corners was lifted and peeled off on the last sheet. There are also black spots on the back. There was a small black spot in the top corner of the first page. I will leave him because I have waited so long for his arrival. I think I just got a bad sketchbook that slipped through quality control. The album is generally made of very dense and thick paper. The paper is smooth as stated for the Zeta series. I don't think it's 100% cotton, but it's archival quality. I tried to do a little research on their website but there was no mention that the paper is cotton or any information on the actual composition of the paper. Even though I bought the book, I still know it's probably not cotton. I'm still very excited to try this. 6x8 is perfect for traveling. I'll update after a few uses to see if it holds up to the watercolor.

Pros
  • Albums and notebooks
Cons
