Advantages: Long Lasting, Great value, Look nice on desk, Staples refils are cheap
Disadvantages: Nothing!

Review of WH Smith A4 Polypro Sketch Book by
KateHurst
Advantages: hard wearing, well-made binding, good quality acid free paper, suits many kinds of media
Disadvantages: paper can go crinkly with watercolours, may not suit charcoal/pastels
My four years at college and uni doing nothing but art courses must have been good value - their legacy hasn’t left me. In some cases, I’m talking literally. Upstairs in my room (and also on my desk, in my desk and anywhere else I’ve been) I can usuall ...

The PaperMate Pen That Loses It's Grip Too Quickly!
Review of Papermate Ice Grip Retractable Ballpoint Pen by
Nar2
Advantages: It is biodegradable and made by Paper Mate, looks quite cool, cheap price for 3 or 5.
Disadvantages: Ink is lousy, failure to flow, falls apart, not worth the cheap price, grip is sore to..grip!
If there is one issue with stationery that I have learnt over the years, it is to stick with brands I trust. Long before I got into review writing, I used to write song lyrics and a couple of journals. I enjoyed the flow of my writing, the artistic way it ...

Ring Binders help keep Kate tidy. (Well, sort of . . .)
Review of Snopake Binder by
KateHurst
Advantages: practical design, useful extra features, ideal for projects and presentations
Disadvantages: a little hard to find, relatively expensive for a ring binder
The downside of hoarding paperwork of all kinds is that you either need a very organised filing system to contain it all or as many ringbinders as you can find. I was born disorganised so I need the second option; amongst my folders, document wallets, ...
