Mother Leda is hatching something new! Now you can order a square shaped or a landscape shaped Leda sketchbook!
The Atlas Journal is a medium-sized square sketchbook, measuring 8.25 x 8.25 inches. Perfect for artists who love symmetry, this sketchbook is versatile and fits comfortably in your bag for on-the-go sketching. With 160 tear-resistant pages of premium cream-tone fine art paper, it's ideal for a variety of mediums, including ink, water color, pen, and pencils.
The Phoebe Journal, on the other hand, is a landscape-shaped sketchbook that's perfect for capturing wide vistas or panoramic scenes. Measuring 8.25 x 5.7 inches, it offers a broad canvas without compromising on portability. Like the Atlas, the Phoebe features 160 pages of our high-quality, smooth, cream-tone paper that's perfect for colored pencils, ink, pen, charcoal, and light water-color.
Both the Atlas and Phoebe are crafted with a stitched thread binding, enabling them to lay flat for easy drawing. Their textured, all-weather soft covers are water-resistant, protecting your precious art from the elements. An elastic strap holds the pages together, while a back pocket provides storage for your drawing tools or even your phone.

These are my preferred writing notebooks: sturdy; right size; opaque paper; able to stand up to being trucked around with me wherever I wander. Top notch.
I just thought that I would drop a quick message to say that back in January when I first purchased one of your sketchbooks, I was initially reluctant to buy it as I had not heard of your brand before so was not too sure what the quality was going to be like.
A couple of months later and I now own three of your sketchbooks, I am never going to buy another brand again - the quality and value for money is just AMAZING.
I use mine as more of an artistic journal than a sketchbook so it gets bashed about an awful lot and has all sorts of mediums purposely thrown on it eg tea, coffee, and fabric and it has not even shown one sign that it is going to fall apart.
Thank you so much for creating quite possibly, the best sketchbook ever, Leda sketchbooks for the win!

NEW YORK MAGAZINE NAMES LEDA 21ST BEST NOTEBOOK OUT OF 100!
The 100 Best Notebooks, As Tested by New York Magazine's Strategist Editors.
Hardcover or soft? Leather or cloth? Spiral-bound or sewn? Are the pages gridded? Are they a comfortable writing size? Do they tear out easily? Whether you use your notebook mainly for jotting, reporting, journaling, list-making — or some Beautiful Mind–esque combination of all of the above — the details really matter. And there are so many to consider. Finding the best options can be an obsessive quest — and thus one we couldn’t resist.
Watch for our Newsletter The Waddle and Skim with giveaways and art contests. Each issue we give away a sketchbook and more! Sign up by joining our Private Facebook Leda VIP Group.
One small step for Leda, one giant leap for her fans.
Sold out for a month and a half, Mother Leda is happy to share the good news that you can order the 8.25 x 11.5 inch Extra Large premium art journal again on Amazon!
New York Magazine Rates Leda "Best Sketchbook for Artists"!
“After purchasing both the three-by-five-inch and five-by-eight-inch versions of this sketchbook, I am completely, utterly, and resolutely sold on this sketchbook. These are easily the finest sketchbooks I have ever had the good fortune to use — far beyond anything Moleskine, Leuchtturm, or Rhodia has to offer. The quality is impeccable, the price unbeatable, the craftsmanship superb. Once my next paycheck comes in, I’m ordering ten more of these. I absolutely cannot lavish Leda with enough praise. After spending almost a decade trying to find the perfect sketchbook, I have, at last, succeeded. Thank you, Leda.”
Leda Art Supply is pleased to help support the work of Seattle area charity Art with Heart. This non-profit uses the healing power of creativity to help children and teens facing hardships.
"This is more like 6 out of 5 stars, it arrived super fast as a gift for my lovely friend whos a artist . The paper feels super high quality and the overall feel of it is just amazing, I ordered the Extra Large which is the size of a typical large notebook, I'm ordering one of the minis for myself now."
This sketch book is really amazing. The paper is so amazing I haven’t felt anything like it and it takes pencil and pen beautifully it was exactly as described and I will continue buying from Leda art supply.

The ideal travel book took a vacation to the Canadian mountain ski town for some summer fun. Designed to weigh less than hardbacked art journals, the Leda is perfect for sketching plein air.
I have received the Leda Odyssey Sketchbook and am very pleased with it!
I very much like the paper finish, tooth, and off-white color. I have done a couple of sketches in 2-B pencil in it and love the wide range of values possible. The 7x10 size is perfect for my needs also.
I like the durable cover material and the overall construction! And, the back pocket is an added bonus that I didn't expect. Great sketchbook! Thanks!

Sketch by Spider Ham
One of the Best Sketchbooks Ever!
Says Amazon Reviewer Spider Ham
"This may be one of the best sketchbooks I've ever used. The pocket in the back is perfect for keeping my stencils and triangle.
Pages are nice and thick and perfect for pen and pencil work.
The medium size book fits perfect in my backpack and the book has held up to daily wear and tear much better than a normal spiral bound sketchbook....
The cream color pages do a good job of show casing your work and color pencils look great on them.
This sketchbook is perfect for me. I needed a new sketchbook for work so I can stay creative and sketch new ideas down. I really love the size and the texture of the Leda Sketchbook. I also love the Greek Mythology behind the name. I always appreciate a great Greek Mythology story. I will definitely get another. Jane Brown, /5/17
"I *love* this sketchbook! The paper is like butter - so smooth but thick enough to handle lots of different media. The buff color is nice to work on. It shows off colors so well. The cover is soft and flexible but seems quite sturdy. I'll definitely purchase this brand again and again." Lana Stuart, 3/1/17
Debbie Riley updated her Amazon product review of the Leda sketchbook and posted some artwork.
In an email she praised the book and says
"I spend a lot of time with your sketchbooks every day so I am thrilled to get another one. I love everything from the soft texture of the covers, to the excellent paper, to the elegant logo on the covers. All good."

Honoring Jesse Hsieh
The Leda team had lunch with Jesse Hsieh from Fullerton, CA on Friday, Dec. 16. Jesse took us up on
our offer to take any Leda Art Supply customer to coffee who comes to Kirkland. He was visiting the area to attend a wedding.
The seven of us met at the Wilde Rover Irish Pub in Kirkland to honor Jesse as our 10,000th customer. We gave him a commemorative sketchbook, a coffee card and promised to give him more sketchbooks on request.
He showed us his artwork in several sketchbooks including the Leda. Jesse is an accounting major and art minor at Cal State Fullerton.
Our photographer John videotaped the lunch. We will post the video in a few weeks.
Seattle artist loves the Leda paper for her sketches.
"I have filled up my Leda sketch book with many pictures. I really like the texture and the thickness of the paper- it makes ink look beautiful as does color pencil and graphite. And the leather like cover is excellent anti-slip- very reassuring. The paper color- magnifique!"
