I've been trying out the Strathmore Mixed Media sketchbook. As with the Stillman & Birn books I waited until I finished a full book before I came to any conclusions about them.
The specs are pretty similar to the Stillman & Birn books. I tried the 5.5 in. x 8.5 in. Mixed Media, 500 series with a paper weight of 90lb (190g/m2). The paper is white with a very slight tooth texture to it. Its also been specifically made for using with watercolour and ink washes.Its a plain black book with a strange almost rubbery texture to it, similar to some phones - could be good for gripping?
I tried using heavy watercolour washes and the paper really does handle any washes well. So if you're using watercolours you won't go wrong with using these books. The book doesn't really fold flat so its difficult working over two pages, it could be because the paper is so thick and the way it is bound but there is an obvious ridge.

Examples done for my Review: Etchr Sketchbooks, The Perfect Sketchbook & The Accordion Sketchbook.
Etchr started with the goal of creating the ultimate art bag, and then ultimate art supplies of all kinds. In their own words, “Overall, we’re helping artists art.”

Ooooooo, I love getting packages in the mail. This one arrived this morning. I’ve been waiting for it for some days. Four new Strathmore sketchbooks that I ordered! This may not look exciting to you, but it is pure Heaven to me! One would think I could find a replacement sketchbook here in Paris. Nope. I’ve never found one with wonderful Strathmore paper. I’ve been using these sketchbooks for centuries. Good friends from New Jersey mailed them to me. Much appreciated.
Sketchbook time! Here are some new pages from my sketchbook. Inspired by childhood nostalgia: The cat on top is the character of a cartoon called "Flower Stories" that we used to watch when we were kids. The stamp on top right corner is the cover of a TinTin book in Japanese! But we used to read them in Persian. I was in love with all of TinTin stories. They still bring back childhood memories.
Recently discovered a large number of my old sketchbooks from Art School. These are some of the pieces I still like.
These are some sketchbooks from the last year or so. I opened them to "interesting" pages. A lot of them have several skimpy pages. Some of them have million dollar ideas inside. Most of them have hundred dollar ideas between the covers.
