I love the small size easy to carry around with you for a moment of relaxation and a make over his works in postcards. That's original. Those who prefer to keep the notebook can too. The paper is thick enough that the felt does not pass through. And this is super important for those who use watercolor pencils or markers. Thoughts are nice (nothing transcendent, but some pretty, some less). The only problem for me are some drawings in themselves: I do not like in life objects current drawings as a typewriter, camera, ice cream, etc. I much prefer "50 Zen thoughts messages to color and send".
