Review: just great - I've bought already about 50 albums of this kind (large and pocket version), its just too brilliant for not use it. you can make a drawings on one page or to expand to next 2, 3pages etc.... very useful, practical and also even for collecting pictures, fragments from newpapers it goes inside well and is very easy to watch it then. this is my favourite and only moleskine type of notebooks that i fell in love!
Review: Excellent for pen and ink and coloured pencils but I wouldn't use it for watercolour - This album is well made - like all Moleskine sketchbooks. The paper is smooth and has an accordion fold (like a concertina). Excellent for pen and ink and coloured pencils but I wouldn't use it for watercolour. In other words it works petty much like the sketchbooks with a lilac cover. The only problem with this sketchbook is coming up with a big enough subject to make the most of the format!

*by M***S on 26 July 2019*

If you like creating illustrations, stories etc, this is the album for you. The whole thing opens up like a concertina book with lovely paper to create your masterpiece. Just plan how to set it out before starting to ensure the whole book flows when opened! Brilliant!
