En cuanto abrí el cuaderno de bocetos la “pasta blanda” se despegó. No existe ninguna pasta blanda es una misma pagina del cuaderno forrada con tipo tela adhesiva. NO LO COMPRES pensé que por el alto precio recibiría algo mejor. Lo mejor y más importante es que me pudieron hacer el reembolso. Gracias Amazon!!

Reviewed in Canada on September 28, 2020
The faulty glue of the binding causes those beginning pages to not lay flat. Not the biggest issue but honestly expected better after hearing such good things about these sketchbooks.

Reviewed in Germany on April 23, 2020
Ich war sehr enttäuscht, als ich dieses Buch bekommen habe. 50% von den Blättern haben graue Punkte oder Linien. Eine Seite hat einen Papierbafel. Die Durchleimung ist schlimm und ich habe das nur geöffnet. Dieses kleine Skizzbuch hat nur 28 Blätter und niemand konnte normal die Qualität überprüfen? Ich werde nie wieder dieses Skizzbuch kaufen.
