Surface is smooth. Paper is thick. Binding is tight and good. Lays flat. Stitched binding. Excellent review for this and a zillion other sketchbooks at parkablogs.com. I went through lots of books and I like the durability and quality of this one for mixed media. It might not be toothy enout for wet media unless you like a hot pressed surface. Lovely for pen and Ink.
Addendum 9/15/19:
Alcohol markers CAN bleed through. Super fine point Sharpies don't seem to, but chisel tip markers do.
Also, with wet wet washes,there seems to be little flecks of sizing that create little freckles. Sometimes they affect the artwork, some times not. But although the paper is super stuff and heavy, I've noticed it on several occasions where there has been a wet wash or prolonged wetness where it is not allowed to dry completely.

I’m just ecstatic to have this sketchbook. It might be the most expensive sketchbook I’ve bought for the relatively small amount of pages it has. But because of the thick paper, I can use both sides of the paper. If you like squishing many sketches down on a single page like I do, I will happily suggest this sketchbook to you. Although if you don’t like the stress of using each page wisely, I would go for another alternative.

Pro: carta ottima; regge l'acqua; non si sfalda; i colori non si intravedono da dietro; è possibile utilizzare diverse tecniche di disegno (il che è perfetto se lo usi come me per il bullet journal)
Contro: come ho detto, non è una carta da acquerello quindi non puoi certo dipingerci su in maniera perfetta il paesaggio dei tuoi sogni; se vuoi usarlo per il bujo sappi che non è puntinato (il che per me è ancora meglio ma magari tu ritieni questa una caratteristica imprescindibile)
Non metto il prezzo tra i contro perché è un prodotto di altissima qualità e trovo che siano 25 euro ben spese.
