A lovely varied look into the sketch books of varied creatives. anyone new to using a sketch book would benefit from looking through this. It is an interesting read with much insight and great suggestions, however the author does use the term one for the first person an awful lot and I found this distracting from the content of the book.

I received this product yesterday in the regular mail, opened it – and was truly delighted to find it rich in archival details and everything else as described! Do be sure to include in the Sketchbook Artist’s department because it’s exactly what every artist interested in carefree & urban sketching areas needs – thank you!

Good ideas about keeping sketchbooks but you have to do your own thing.

All good thanks

Good straightforward guide to sketchbooks. Written by a British author and not as breathlessly enthusiastic as a lot of US books on the subject. Bit more serious which I really liked. Some wonderful drawings. Highly recommended.
