While some of the easier pamphlet style books could be created by younger students with supervision, I truly believe those aged 14 and up would most enjoy the process. It would be a wonderful resource for a high school art class, and could allow the students to make their own sketch books for their other artistic endeavors." - Old Schoolhouse Magazine-- -, "I would recommend it for high school students and adults.

    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.
