Review on Stillman & Birn Gamma Series Wirebound Sketchbook: 9x12, 150 gsm, Ivory Paper, Medium Grain Surface by Sasha Hsiao

Excellent mixed media sketchbook - colored pencil, pastel, colored pencil, fountain pen and lightly toned watercolor pencil - all worked well for me in this Rugged Scales Books series. I especially like the tooth tone and ivory on the Gamma paper. For the same tooth tone and ivory on paper thick enough for true watercolor sketching, I recommend the Delta series (also from Stillman & Birn). I still like (and use) Strathmore Visual Journals and Bee Super Deluxe Albums as general field books - these Stillman and Byrne books are also solid enough for field work, but good enough that I take the color samples to Strathmores and Let it behind for a more thoughtful work.
