Really gorgeous, lovely, original and the paper inside seems to be high quality and thick for sketching. Though be warned... As per the picture I expected white paper when it is in fact a deep cream colour. I'd prefer white but I can live with it as it's such a good sketchbook in every other way! Elastic is also handy if like me you rip inspiration from magazines and stuff inside your sketchbook to use later. £2.95 is a good price for it and I would buy again.
