Format:Hardcover
This large sketchbook is the perfect size for me, each page is just a little bigger than my hand when relaxed. The paper is a nice weight and the surface is silky smooth.
Inside the back cover is a pocket to keep various bits and pieces of paper in and because it opens inwards and seems to have strong joints to the book it seems like a great addition.
The best bit of the book is that because of the spine design you can open the book right out and litterally have any two page spread flat accross each other. This means you don't have to have a regular sketchbook and not be able to sketch accross pages without seriously destroying the spine, and you don't have to delve into the ring-bound sketchbooks.
The hard cover seems pretty hard wearing and a good choice of material to protect all of those sketches buried deep inside.
Plus, the value for money from Amazon when i bought it is superb!!

Format:Hardcover
This sketchbook is designed with the traveller in mind: hard, durable covers held shut with a ribbon of elastic, contains plenty of heavy weight, durable paper, and a handy fold-out pocket in the back for loose paper paraphernalia. The size won't hog too much bag space and could probably fit inside a coat pocket. In any event it isn't too cumbersome to carry about in the hand.
A thing I would say is the paper is exceptionally smooth, having little tooth, and proves to have a slightly resistive quality with certain media. It's fabulous to work on with inks, felt pens etc., not so easy with water-based paints and some pencils - if you prefer these to inkwork then I would suggest looking at other books, for example the Moleskine watercolour sketchbook, or one with toothier cartridge paper.
Another thing is if your book isn't going to travel and what you want is purely a sketch book then possibly you'll need a larger format, A4 or more. The recommended retail price is quite expensive for a sketchbook of this size but at around half-price with Amazon discount they become excellent value for money.

Having been looking for a new sketchbook for months, I was absolutely ecstatic when I found out Moleskine were now making A3 versions of the classic sketchbook. In the past I have consistently had problems with various sketchbooks; quality paper usually means a heavy book that is an absolute pain to lug around everywhere, whilst lighter books are often too flimsy and low quality.
This is the perfect antidote for an increasingly fed up art student. It is light enough for me to fill several and still not overstep the portfolio weight requirements for college applications without compromising on quality. The sleeves are a fantastic antique white paper that are good for almost every medium, even managing to withstand heavy lashings of water without becoming completely tatty. Also I had never realised just how handy the back pocket would be in a sketchbook; no more do I have an absolute meltdown everytime people handle my books and scraps fly out the sides. Absolutely perfect, could not recommend more. Even with the hefty price tag, I think I have now found my staple book.

A big disapointment
I see no use of these sturdy pages in the sketchbook since drawing ink bleeds through. I thought moleskines were better than this!
