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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

9 x 12 is a great size and is a very beautiful, durable and functional sketchbook.

I haven't had a chance to use this sketchbook yet, so I'll have to update this review later. For now, this review will be aesthetic and cosmetic. I bought a 9 x 12 inch notebook. Plenty of room on the page to work with, and if I choose to do a spread there's a lot more room! :-D When I'm scanning or photographing a two-page spread I have to couple it with imaging software, but it's worth it to fit so much detail into a very large space. The covers are very beautiful, nice to look at and touch. They are very durable. They're like a built-in clipboard. The wire attachment is also strong. Lays the book absolutely flat. The surface of the paper is very smooth. However, there are very few teeth on the back of each leaf. The back is also very smooth. Just something to be aware of.

Pros
  • Art Paper
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
