When you're standing on the sidewalk, stuff like that can be so annoying. They are a deal-breaker for me.MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-36039133852304391092019-05-05T06:19:12.727-07:002019-05-05T06:19:12.727-07:00Nice review of how the Zeta works for you.

I have some Strathmore sketchbooks and although I like the paper the fact that they don't lie flat is annoying, especially when you get the the back of the book. I end up having to clip it to a board.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-59661335141353256472019-05-03T11:45:23.499-07:002019-05-03T11:45:23.499-07:00Zeta pages are so heavy (like Canson XL 140 lb) th...Zeta pages are so heavy (like Canson XL 140 lb) that they don't blow at all, and the book stays open easily. I like folding back the side I'm not using just to make it easier to hold with one hand.MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-85433829000840809332019-05-03T08:53:43.373-07:002019-05-03T08:53:43.373-07:00To make each book unique, I add stickers to the co...To make each book unique, I add stickers to the covers. Sometimes I make my own, print and glue to the cover. They're not as durable but it doesn't matter as the sketchbook isn't in use for a long time. <br /><br />I haven't noticed... do you use a binder clip to keep it open. I find that helps in holding it while standing to sketch. MK Buikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290622145250386053noreply@blogger.com
