Review on πŸ“” Travelogue Artist Watercolor Journal - Large Landscape Size, High-Quality 95lb/200gsm Paper by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

UPDATED: Gluing pages with glue (read my update for happy endings)

I was so excited when I found this size because I was looking for an 8-9 inch square watercolor magazine. Global Arts uses a combination of glue and staple binding for the magazine and at least what I received has the glue seeped into the pages so all the other spreads are glued and need to be separated. Stains of torn paper and glue in the middle of the spread, meaning these pages are pretty crappy for large designs. I'm so desperate for a magazine of this size to be able to keep it, but I'm not happy with the quality of /care of Global Arts when this magazine comes out and I have to scale the drawings to account for the damaged areas half of the pages in the magazine. Arrived via Amazon, the pages are glued together with ether with pressure-sensitive adhesive. I contacted Global Arts (via their joint website) and they offered to send me another magazine as the glue couldn't see through the binding. Received my replacement magazine today and it's PERFECT - just what I was hoping for and I'm looking forward to doing some sketches in it over the weekend. Thank you Global Arts for making me a happy (and now permanent) customer!
