I bought this for my sister who is a paper artist and often makes concertina books so that she can sketch to her heart's delight. Good quality I looked at reviews of this sketch book somewhere else online and it hasn’t disappointed. I discovered concertina sketchbooks a couple of years ago and now have a gorgeous stack full of colour. I carry mine everwhere it is my companion, because of the quality of paper and the sturdy case it can be used for painting too and I tend to collage in it.

I love these concertina sketchbooks in their protective covers and always take one on days out or holidays.

It makes me think that layering alcohol-based and watercolour markers may lead to the same effect but I haven't tried it yet.

I like the idea that it's almost secretive it would make an interesting personal art journal or an altered book piece.
