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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent paper, heavy sketchbook

The paper is nice and thick and holds up to several watercolor strokes and even drains paint well. Zeta is naturally very smooth as a hot press and Beta is rougher. This 7x10 format is very good, it's still not too big but leaves enough room for a nice big spread. I wanted the flexibility of a wire binding and it's nice and strong, but the rings stick out a little making it a bit awkward to draw on the left side. Also, this sketchbook is heavy. It fits in a medium sized bag but makes it a bit heavier.
