I've finished this sketchbook, so here's a more detailed review:
Price: They fluctuate the price for this item often, from $2.90 to $11. I picked up a couple when they were under $3, great value. I would recommend them at anything under $6.
Quality: Decent sketchbook. Takes light alcohol marker washes without bleeding to the next sheet, takes brush pens and ink, etc. The paper seemed too thin for me to attempt any wetter medium, but it might take very small amounts of undiluted paint (no watercolour). It is a tad flimsy, so you need to place the pad on a hard surface (or a light wooden art board) when drawing. Texture is okay and as you would expect. Sturdy enough to travel with without fear.
For beginners, kids, or for use for rough works, I highly recommend this sketchbook (when the price is right). Having a cheap sketchbook can be very freeing, which is valuable in its own right.
