Seawhite Classic Travel Journal A5

Prompt service and quality product.

This is my second one. I call it my everything journal because I use it for anything from note taking to sketching to writing. The paper is very good quality for the price which is very important to be as someone who uses watercolors and markers (but there still may be some bleeding onto the back of the page). The size makes it very easy to take around literally everywhere I go. The book itself is also very sturdy and I’ve definitely tested it. I’ll be buying these for the foreseeable future!

highest quality. the best so glad amazon makes them available

I bought this just as a general sketchbook for quick daily graphite sketches. I don't really like the paper. It just doesn't fit my style of sketching. Despite just sketching, I sometimes like to use grid lines and/or draw lines to help me place all the features knowing I will eventually erase them. Despite drawing VERY light lines, when I erase them I find that the paper has been embossed; when I shade these areas, the original line does not take up the graphite. After it happened the first time, I was extra careful to draw with a light touch when drawing lines I knew I would erase. Still happened, although better. I spend so much time worrying about embossing areas I plan to shade that sketching is less enjoyable. So, I will use this sketch book for thumbnails or such when planning projects, but will not use it for more formal sketches that I want to look nice. Other features are nice. The paper is just not for me.

This is a great sketchbook-I think the one I received has something wrong with the paper on the inside edge. If you look at the two sketches there appears to be a “waffle weave” when I shaded in that area. Top of my trees and in the blending of the sky. Just wondering if there was a manufacturing problem - hoping fixed by the time I need to reorder. I would have given five stars except for this issue.

A nice enough book, good paper quality (although nowhere near as smooth as a Moleskine). However, book is not completely flat when open
