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

Paper is really very good for all kinds of materials. I use brush pens quite a bit to work with line art and it's not much friction at all. It's a wonderful feeling. My only complaint is that the general build quality is a little rough. I compared it to a notebook from a well-known Japanese stationery manufacturer and it really falls short in terms of looks and finish. For example, the front and back are very thick, but not wide enough to protect the edges of the paper. It was really weird for me. The edges of my pages are a bit torn after a few months in a laptop bag, so why does the cover have to be so thick and pointy? And how much did I pay for this notebook just for the paper to spoil? I also think it would be possible to use something like a cover sheet with the brand name or a nice pattern on it. Right now my image on the cover is slowly transferring to the inside of the cover when they rub against each other so it looks pretty ugly when you open it. really cool. If you want the feel of holding a high-end laptop, keep looking.
