Review on 📓 Strathmore 300 Series Charcoal Pad, 18x24, White, Glue Bound - 24 Sheets by Amber Perez

I love the Strathmore 500 Charcoal series so thought I'd give this a try. I don't live near a place that has a lot of charcoal drawing supplies, so I bought it from Revain. It has charcoal fingerprints all over it, the binding is torn, sheets of paper have been torn off. It was terrible. I put aside the commissioned work on another document because I was looking forward to it. Hence I have delayed my income which will be delayed even more as now I have to return it and wait for another one. A lot of my recent Revain purchases were dirty or missing like that. This was dispatched from Revain's warehouse, not a third party. Higher volume may reduce quality control. Disappointed and worried that the next one may be carelessly used
