A converted skeptic forever

"I have seen the ads for uglybooks and wondered how I, a less than amateur artist, could make colors like these work? But the lure of the reviews about the great paper feel, was too much too ignore so I went and got three books. I AM SO GLAD I DID. It took me a couple of weeks to even use one because I didn’t want to mess them up! But I finally had it trust that I could get more someday if I use these up, and go for it. The paper feels wonderful and can handle a lot of erasing and rubbing. Starting with a colored page makes everything feel better, too…mistakes aren’t glaring, and any line I make just looks more substantial. I have been obsessing about my next order and will allow myself once I get through at least half of one book, lol. But I WILL be back!!!"

Travel perfect

"I love my new mini ugly books! I already have the larger size, but these minis are great for a day hike or jotting down quick ideas, they fit in my fanny pack perfect so I always have the option to capture an inspirational moment on the go."

Sent as a gift. Loved by all.

"Sent to two kids, and a parent (so. . . three kids). They even sent me a video saying how cool they think the books are. A great gifting experience all around."

Miss the staples but great quality

"I enjoyed the opportunity to select my own colors. I miss the stapled binding because the pages laid flat. The new binding is very tight."
