I should have looked more closely at the size. This is a really nice watercolour sketch book however I was looking for the next size up (A6) rather than down. My oversight as the measurements were there, but because I hadn't looked at them I was a bit shocked at the size when I opened it. It also makes them a bit pricey given the size. It arrived on time, is good paper quality and stock for watercolour, has the useful perforations, and if the size is no object I would recommend for small sketches/paintings. It is easy to carry around being so small. I will use this for testing my paint swatches.
