I know that someone has posted about this before, I was curious about what you think of the books? They are offering sketch books 1-7 in a digital format for $75 bucks. I am on the fence about it - so give me your feedback! Lemme know what you think!

That sounds rather a lot, considering that the paper versions are from $9-$15 each. I don't know. I know that nearly as much effort has gone into preparing a digital book as a paper book, but something in me baulks at paying the same prices for something which, without a computer, is useless. 
And knowing how easy it is to a) make your own sketches and b) get them off the net for free, I personally wouldn't do it. They'd have to be REALLY special. That's my twopennyworth, for what it's worth!

Rosy, that is what I have been thinking. I do have some of her free sketches and have been really impressed, but you know, I just feel like 75.00 for 27 sketches is quite a lot....

Isn't it around 30 sketches per book?
Have a look at Creativescrappers, and download hundreds for free. I love theirs.

I thought even the books were high.

I actually wrote an article for SJ about these a while ago. I think the books are very good, but the price is way too high for what they are. They are simple spiral-bound books with soft covers. I think that digital price is ridiculously high too.
