This is a wonderful watercolor notebook. As has been said in other reviews 'larger' does not really mean that big, but it is great for little water color sketches. There is a slight bit of warping to the paper when it gets rather wet, but that is to be expected. The pages have a slight yellow tint as it typical for the moleskines. The only issue I had was that if much water accumulates where the pages are sewn together it can be drawn down into the other pages getting them damp as well, but that is something I should have known better than to have done. And you can't really expect a bound book to not do that.
