Review: I've been using Stillman & Birn sketchbooks for years. They simply are the best quality with a good variety of choices in sizes and paper. I keep a journal that I fill with writing and illustrations. Some day I plan to leave these journals for my family and want them to last. I use the softcover since it is lighter and I like the feel. For outside use, it might be better to use a hardcover
