Ashley Portrait Hardcover Blank Pages Book

These are really great books. They are hardbound with a cover that has a texture similar to the pages inside. You can decorate the cover anyway you like. Glue a photo on it, draw with pencil, pen, marker, or even paint on it. Inside you have, I think it is 15 pages of good quality paper. I draw and it has a nice tooth for that. I don't think heavy paint would work inside but a light watercolor, like drybrush work would work great.I have bought a total of six of these books now, one of this size & two of the 5x7 size each for my granddaughter and myself. My granddaughter is 7 and was really excited to create her own books. She & her best friend Emma are planning a book about being best friends was what I was told last time we talked about it.The style and quality of these books reminds my of the little golden children's books, for those that remember, except the cover is not glossy. That was one of my main concerns before ordering because glossy surfaces limit you a bit as some pen or marker will not adhere well to it.Another concern I had was if it would be shrilled well because a few dents would really mar the surface & prevent some applications from looking their best. Not a problem. My books came looking flawless.A good buy and a really great gift idea for the creative people on your friends & family gift list.

Size was expectedThis was used to give as a gift.

Good purchase

I got this as a gift for my little guys’ preschool teacher end of year gift. I printed a class photo for the front and she had each of the children write their name on a separate page. I hope it was meaningful

I am working towards publishing my own children's book and I wanted something that I could use to get an idea of what it would look like finished. The covers are a matte-finish so they are easy to draw on (I was worried they would be a glossy finish).The pages are bound securely, the paper is durable and good quality (better than regular computer paper) so you can use markers and it doesn't bleed through to the other side. Overall, very well made. Sturdy and professional looking.I like that it came in a pack of 5 so I could go through several drafts. Each book comes in a clear plastic wrapping that folds open so you reuse it. I like being able to put the books back in the wrapping to keep them clean.As I was considering other blank books, these were the best deal that I found.I would definitely recommend these!

This is a great journal that could easily be used as a sketch book or nature study book. It has a solid, hard cover which could be decorated (matte surface, not shiny), and all the interior pages are white and unlined. The only downside in my opinion is that there aren't enough pages. I was hoping for a thicker book, and this one is rather thin. Seems a shame for something that's such good quality.

I used micron felt tip pens. The ink did not bleed through the pages, and the pages held up to a lot of erasing.

these are very convenient and i made them into summer books for me and my gf. she loved it. pages are sturdy it’s a great size and works well
