Editorial Reviews

Customer Review for Watson-Guptill Sketchbooks:

"I have been an artist, who keeps a sketchbook, for over 20 years. This is without a doubt the BEST sketchbook you can buy. I have found that this sketchbook has beautiful paper, not too toothy or textured, but the cover and binding are the really exquisite part. This sketchbook goes everywhere with me and goes into and out of my backpack every day. I have never had another brand stand up to that kind of abuse and use. This sketchbook looks, after a year, like it did the day I bought it."
