Okay so I ordered this new sketchbook with a "hardcover". But really turned out to be That flexible plastic. Don't get me wrong, I don't having anything against flexible plastic it just never said that's what it was. I was expecting something else..

And I also thought it was going to be bigger. But that's on me for not checking the size correctly 😅. 

Here's a pic to give you an idea of the size the actual size of 6x9)

Though it might be good for travel, I like having bigger sketchbooks.

CONCLUSION:  IM GONNA RETURN IT
