Review on Sketchbook For Drawing And Mixed Media 4&#34 by Doris Tran

I ordered this as one of my child's Christmas gifts as it is a good size to take home. For over $8, I was expecting a sketchbook with a nice cover and decent papers inside. When I received it, I found the sleeves made of thin paper that couldn't even withstand bumps during shipping and was quite crumpled. Upon closer inspection, I can see that the covers were scratched and the edges frayed, as if the book had been pushed around a lot. I wasn't expecting a high end sketchbook but I was definitely expecting a new one and the one I received wasn't good enough to be a gift. Unfortunately I had to send it back and look for a better alternative.
