Paper Republic notebook cover 2+ years later - long term artist review

Over 2 years ago, I bought an expensive notebook system. I'm still using it for planning, Morning Pages, and art. It's looking a little well-worn, but still good. This is not sponsored by Paper Republic or anyone else. Pocket-size notebooks and sketchbooks I've tried: Paper Republic note book Field Notes Moleskine Cahier Paper Republic drawing book Traveller's Company sketch book and watercolour book (passport size) Stillman & Birn Alpha and Beta sketchbooks homemade sketchbooks and notebooks using Leuchtturm dot grid paper, cheap watercolour paper, and mixed media paper The bamboo tray I keep my archived notebooks in is from Kmart.
