Crehatos 5.5" x 8.5" Small Sketch Book, Top Spiral Bound Sketch Pad, 100 Sheets Each 68lb/100gsm Drawing Paper, 2 Pack

NOTE: The various 'A5' or roughly 5x8 Sketchbooks are not sized alike, I learned comparing three different sketchbooks in this class. CREHATOS admirably states the size of each sheet BELOW THE MICRO PERFORATIONS. Another model I have states its actual A5 dimensions (5.8 x 8.3"), but the height includes the paper ABOVE THE MICROPERATIONS, that the spiral rings go through, so that sketchbook looks much shorter than the Crehatos. And the sheets, removed at the perforation line, are closer to 7.5" tall. Careful attention to vendor pics will assist you determining the actual sheet size, if that matters. I was seeking "nice" sketchbooks at a very low unit price to use as gifts (with colored pencils) for many children in my life. Aside from the fantastic sale price of 6.99/2-pack, the features I was looking for and appreciate in this product are: - Top spiral bound, to make it easier to draw on this small paper, especially for lefties. - Nice heavy weight (68 lb paper was the 'sketchbook' weight I was looking for.) Cheaper competitors had thinner paper. I wanted these young budding artists to start getting a sense about different types of paper, and to have something heavier weight for drawings that might be saved. (These kids' default coloring paper is just notebook paper or printer/copy paper.) - Micro-perforations for clean tear outs. I had found an excellent looking competitor that had a slightly better price for a two pack of this size and paper weight, But it lacked the perforations, which I think will be useful for saving drawings or pulling some pages out to work on the table, or to share the nice quality paper with brothers and sisters, while drawing in the sketchbook oneself. - HARD COVERS, front and back, are very nice, especially if you need to carry it around a lot, or use it without a table surface. Hardcovers, especially front covers, are not found on all Sketchbooks. I actually purchased another model after getting a discount for a bulk purchase of 10, specifically because that model had pink and lavender cover options, which some of my giftees will appreciate. Had I not found pink and purple covers, there's a slew of young girls in my family that would have gotten this Crehatos Sketchbook instead.

Excellent deal and perfect size. Acid-free is always what I look for in good quality sketching paper. This two-pack of sketchbooks fit my needs! Thank you!

My son enjoys sketching on the book. They are small in size. Small and light to carry and use than other sketch books. But, it's durable. Easy to use and erase on. Especially, with white erasers. Ordered/Shipped/Delivered quickly. Recommend.

Good weight paper and portable. I’ve been on a sketching/drawing craze since I bought these. They’re great!

Granddaughter was happy.

These sketchbooks are a great size and perfect for traveling. I’ve started doing more coloring/light drawing/zen doodling with different mediums and so far they’ve been great. There is a little bit of bleeding with permanent markers, but none so far with paints or regular pens.

The item is in my car and desk Great for thoughts to paper Sketching is a joy. Words or paper never unhappy

Good sketch pads for everyday drawing. Nice for being left handed. Good for pencil, markers
