PENCIL REVOLUTION
" ...this book can take a beating."
"The paper is WHITE and SMOOTH as you’d ever want sketch paper to be. [...] Frankly, and I don’t have a lot of experience with paper that’s this…nice. "
"...this book felt like something bought from a local artisan shop while traveling, and definitely not like your run-of-the-mill “handmade sketchbook. [...] [T]he craftsmanship really shows.
"...In the end, you’d do yourself favor to score yourself some goods from Neko Heavy Industries — unless supremely smooth paper, careful craftsmanship and versatility upset you. You’d do yourself a BIG favor. Spending your hard-earned paper/pencil/pen money on beautiful books made by hand (not some faceless corporation) and getting some of the best and most heavy duty books around is win-win, if you ask me. I can’t decide if the mega-durable construction or the paper is what I like best about these books. But, then again, I don’t have to decide. They have both, and that’s what counts. And, frankly, for what Neko charges, you can’t beat it."

"Quite impressed with his ability to figure out what might suit me best just from a couple e-mail exchanges. Yup, this massive 10" X 7"X 1 3/8" Chemistry sketchbook was custom made to meet my preferences and multimedia sketching needs with four different types of paper stock. It features a strong elastic loop to keep it tightly closed when not in-use and removable sheets. [...] These recycled old textbook hard covers are secured with three steel loops with ball and socket closure joints."
Note: Since this review we have upgraded our standard paper from 28# to 32# (our heavier stock was also upgraded from 80# to 100#). We also experimented with notching the clear sheets and determined that it could compromise durability. We are happy to do this upon request, but opted not to implement it across the board.

"I love everything about this sketchbook - it is so well-crafted, it has pages from the original book interspersed with wonderful quality paper, a clear plastic page to prevent bleed-through of heavier media, and it is REFILLABLE. The seller shipped quickly & wrapped everything up nice & safe. Awesome transaction!"
"This sketchbook is amazing! It's gorgeous and I love the paper used in it. The seller was great communicating with me about my order and I am seriously in love with my item. Would definitely buy from this shop again!"
"Excellent sketchbook. Great contact with the seller. Thoroughly recommended."
"Again, NekoHeavyIndustries is the place to buy your custom sketchbooks. I will be back for more."
"Very high quality heavy paper stock, nice clean cuts, super communications, and even a couple of free samples of other types. I will definitely buy again. Thanks so much!"
"I really cannot believe the quality of these cards! They're cut from the smoothest paper I've ever used and they're nice and sturdy. Thanks so much!"
"Beautiful color and once again amazing quality. These trading cards blow other brands out of the water."
"High quality item for a great price - also great 'repurposing' of items that would end up in the trash otherwise. Great idea! Shipped quickly & well protected, too!"
