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

Absolutely fantastic find! Very pleased with the quality. Paper has a good weight and feel to it. Perfect for my doodle sketches! Plenty of pages!

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.

Perfect for drawing and doodles. I love this size and the spiral binding. Great paper and quality for price.

Right size, good price, quality paper. Micro perforations are a big plus. Highly recommended.

Paper is pretty thin but does the job

Great sketchbook set at a great price!

great

Great size for little ones.
