Review: Amazing product! - High quality paper. Easy to put in backpack, work on the bus or take to the park. I have several of various sizes. Works best with black and white colored pencil, or black ink.
Review: Nice midpoint in tone and in size. Sturdy in all factors. - This is a quality mid-tone sketchbook. I like it for quick sketches or urban sketching. I often use it with black and white charcoal and it works well with that. What I like: The tooth. This holds thick applications of charcoal or powdered graphite well. The color. This sits at a nice mid point, letting me evenly darken the shadows and brighten the highlights without anything seeming out of balance. The binding. This lays flat, as expected of a spiral bound. The binding does not catch on anything in my bag. The pages are sturdy and not prone to falling out. The sturdiness of the page. I am not very good and have to erase a lot. This tolerates that kind of abuse quite well. I recommend the Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser even so, as that's really gentle on the page, but either way, this paper can take a lot of reworking. I've had paper lose its tooth after too much rework. Not an issue here. The size. This is just small enough to carry around easily and just large enough to give me a good surface to work on. In this too, it hits a nice midpoint. I would normally put a "what I don't like" section in a review, but here I can't. It would be empty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strathmore paper can't be beat, even by wet weather.
*by C***. on November 26, 2025*

The paper itself is great. Thankfully after 3 days in a dry room, it has recovered from the ambient moisture exposure and warping. 5 stars for Strathmore quality and surviving a disastrous set of circumstances. Billionaires will not allow me to elaborate any further on this, so check the image.
