Amazing Customer Service and Quality

"I was worried about the package coming in time before I left for a trip and was very pleased with the help I received! I really liked that I was talking to a real person and not a bot. When the books came, they were packaged nicely and the quality is great! Definitely would recommend to others."

Obsessed

"I purchased two sets after receiving one in my Sketchbox subscription. The paper is fantastic and the idea of having the colorful sketchbooks is beyond exciting. My daughter and I split the sets and have used them every day since. Will definitely be back for more!"

Karen K. (5/5)

Just Buy One!

"These are awesome. The paper is like Kraft paper but colored (obviously lol) so even tho they're not "precious" they are still really great quality and can hold up to all the crap I pile on it! Which is why I went ahead and got all the colors I wanted."

Almost perfect

"I LOVE the heavy weight colored pages! I wish they had a few more pages and were a little more budget friendly."

danielle z. (4/5)

These little books are a big hit.

"I love my ugly books. They are used for journals and garden cataloguing. The pages hold watercolor and glue with out bleeding through. I’ve given select colors to friends to try out. They have happily received them."
