This Oxford sketchbook in A5 format is one with a black hard cover and sturdy, high-quality drawing paper. The sketchbook is ideal for making drawings and sketches, writing down your thoughts or taking notes. This can be done with pencil, chalk, fineliner, marker, graphite and charcoal. Thanks to the double spiral binding at the top, the book remains perfectly flat when opened. This makes drawing/writing a lot more comfortable. The micro-perforation ensures that pages can be easily removed from the sketchbook.
