I guess I have wasted more dollars looking for the right journal and should have paid more attention to the reviews that I thought were based solely on "Moleskine snobbery". The paper is perfect and stands up to washes better than most notebook journal/sketchpad papers. The fact ...             What Is Life?: with "Mind and Matter" and "Autobiographical Sketches"19 reviews Erwin Schrodinger Cambridge University Press, 1992 A spectacular read!!

I will recommend it to all my art students without hesitation.             Culture Sketches: Case Studies in Anthropology6 reviews Holly Peters-Golden McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2008 Love It Even though I had to buy this book for an anthropology class for college, I absolutely love it.

This is like a jumbo version of the traditional Moleskine Sketchbook. The pages have a little texture and are just heavy enough so you can use ink and it will not bleed through BUT they are not the same heavy bristol board-esque ones used in the smaller version. These pages are much thinner. The binding is tight and secure, the cover hard and durable.

I came across this book in a used bookstore on a college campus. I purchased it without more than a few quick page flips to see the type of content. It didn't really matter, though as Twain is my favorite author. The "student" who owned this book previously underlined several passages extensively, and sloppily at that. If they had spent time reading Twain instead of trying to underline every ...             Works of Washington Irving.
