I like it for quick sketches or urban sketching. I often use it with black and white charcoal and it works well with that. What I like: The tooth. This holds thick applications of charcoal or powdered graphite well. The color. This sits at a nice mid point, letting me evenly darken the shadows and brighten the highlights without anything seeming out of balance. The binding. This lays flat, as expected of a spiral bound. The binding does not catch on anything in my bag. The pages are sturdy and not prone to falling out. The sturdiness of the page. I am not very good and have to erase a lot. This tolerates that kind of abuse quite well. I recommend the Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser even so, as that's really gentle on the page, but either way, this paper can take a lot of reworking. I've had paper lose its tooth after too much rework. Not an issue here. The size. This is just small enough to carry around easily and just large enough to give me a good surface to work on. In this too, it hits a nice midpoint. I would normally put a "what I don't like" section in a review, but here I can't. It would be empty.
