Review: cartoncini di buona qualità, una bellissima copertina opaca, veramente un bel quaderno
Review: Das Buch ist aus sehr wertigem Papier und stabil außen. Soft touch außen fühlt sich wirklich gut an und man sieht nicht jeden Fingerabdruck drauf. Das Papier ist stabil, ebenso die Spiralbindung. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder bestellen (nur leider gibt es aktuell keine Bücher mehr).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***T on 17 July 2025*

Top quality drawing pad with amazing effects to be had with the black paper using white charcoal or chalk. I've bought at least 5 of these so far and had at least another 5 bought for birthdays and Christmas presents. Excellent value for money quality feel with great thickness and the black colour is a must for any artist. Superb bleed resistance and all in all an amazing sketchbook. I can't recommend enough, a 5 star product.
