This sketchbook is wire-bound with perforated pages for easy removal.

What reviewers didn't like
The paper may bleed a bit depending on which marker you use. Be sure to do a marker test or put a piece of copy paper between pages to prevent any bleeding.
Cannot use it with wet media
It cannot take too many layers of color before it starts curling up
A few Amazon reviewers have said that this product falls apart quickly.
One thing you might not like is the cover design. It uses ugly Canson branding with splash artwork as a marketing ploy. Most artists(myself included) prefer the solid black color.
