The Brooklyn-based Sketchbook Project is a crowd-sourced library of over 34 thousand artists' books from more than 135 countries. On the site, readers may like to read about the project on the About page before navigating to View, where they may peruse the sketchbooks themselves. Here readers will find a number of Random Books to be scouted, as well as two separate search features to find specific items of interest. In the first, readers may search by keyword, such as artist name, locations, mediums, interests, or tags, among other possibilities. The second is set up for browsing by themes, such as "A day in the life," "City Lights," and many others. The sketchbooks themselves, of course, are the main event on the site. From playful to glum, from heartfelt to sarcastic, the sheer variety of possibility is what stands out most on this original, delightful site.
