Moleskine Art Collection Sketchbook

I want the Moleskine Art Collection sketchbook because its paper is heavier than their regular notebooks, 165gsm instead of 70gsm. Weight means you can use markers and light watercolor without the pages buckling or bleeding through. Same black hardbound cover as the classic Moleskine, but the interior feels different in your hand, thicker pages that lie flat when you open the book and resist wrinkling when wet media dries. Thread-sewn binding lets it open completely without cracking the spine, and that flexibility matters when you are drawing across a 2-page spread. I noticed it at a classmate's desk and asked to flip through it. Drawings looked better on the heavier paper than they would in a standard sketchbook because the surface has a slight tooth that grabs pencil and charcoal. At $20 it's more expensive than a generic sketchbook but the paper quality justifies the premium for anyone who draws regularly.
