The paper demands different techniques to my usual scribbles, and there are times hen I have chosen to use a tougher cartridge that will tolerate more scrubbing with the pen. The sheer pleasure of using these books, more than makes up for any adjustments. After a little while messing with the new book, It’s growing on me more and more.

No animals are bred and slaughtered solely for the purpose of producing leather for my books" Makes sense to me. And the following manufacturer quote is good to hear:

And seeing as my multitude of sketchbooks are now starting to get full and worn, I'm in the market for a new one. So I'm glad I found this article.. I'll order mine now! Gotta admire the stitched leather-bound cover and handmade paper.. very nice. :) As an artist, I find myself constantly sketching, laying the framework for the next painting or digital piece (often, I scan directly from my sketchbook into Photoshop, and take it from there).
