I'm so happy I got this notebook. I'm in ceramics and this is the perfect size notebook for me to do my sketches and jot down my ideas while working in sometimes messy environments. The quality of the paper is awesome, and I can jot down stuff in the notebook with wet clay hands. My old composite book would start wrinkling if it got wet. I also love that there's a page maker ribbon to keep you place as well as a back pocket to keep loose notes. Great product with a great price!
