I think I've found my sketchbook

I always had a violent opposition to the wire bound sketchbook but one day I perused the Stillman and Birn series which has both wire bound and hard bound books. The quality of their paper and the natural white and ivory toned paper options sold me.

there are quite a few choices, right now I have the Delta series which has extra heavy ivory paper. Its nice enough to use on final work.

Hooray!
