A useful way to catalogue your collection
I bought this swatch book because my smaller copy is getting full with pens and pencils and I wanted a larger space for swatching paints and inks.As well as having a larger area for the swatch, there is also more space for writing the colour name and number.To capture my ink colours, I used one of my stamps that fit within the area of the box. This looks so much nicer than just brushing the pad across the space.One addition I have added is to number each of the pages and then create an index in the front cover. I initially started (in my first small book) to write the names on post-it flags, but as the book filled up these flags got out of hand all the way down the side of the book. This index is every bit as quick and much tidier. If they produce a new edition, it might be nice to have the Index and page numbering provided, but this isn't enough to downgrade my rating.If you are a fan of alcohol markers, it is worth knowing that the pages are single sided so you won't lose any, just put a piece of card behind in case of bleeding.

Great colour charts Book
I am delighted with this Colour Chart book. I have the smaller edition but much prefer this larger size. I have a few sets of good pencils, Polychromos and Posca pencils being my favourite ones. I have also just purchased the new Monarch pencils from Black Widow.I found I was using the same few colours all the time. Charting them in this book has allowed me to try out every single pencil and see the fantastic variety of colours.I have noticed a couple of reviews commenting on the paper quality in this book, in my opinion the paper is fine, I prefer thicker paper in Colouring books but for colour charting it’s absoluely fine. So far I have only used pencils so am unable to say if pens come through the other side.

Quite satisfied. Paper could be better and pages serrated.
Just big enough for recording my pencil collection.Wish the paper was better and pages serrated.Anyway, not bad for organizing your pencils by brands.

Excellent A4 colour chart book
Excellent A4 colour chart book. I have had a couple of the smaller books and hesitated about buying this bigger one - I am so glad I did, each page has a 1inch square to lay down your colour and they show up very well, plus plenty of room to write a description. I have added a photo of the original size compared to this book, The paper is good quality and takes marker pens verywell [with card behind to stop the bleed] It does mean there are only 24 spaces instead of 45 but it is worth it [for me] to have fewer but larger colour indicators.

This is the chart for you!
Absolutely love this colour chart! With all my art supplies, I really want to have something I can keep references from to decide my colours and this did just the job. The paper is thick so nothing will bleed through and the quality is like no other. Can't recommend enough.
