and 27 more make 300

Taking an even longer break than usual, I detoured into the art store to check out the selection of materials. Lo and behold, the shock that greeted me when I found out that the sketchbook that I have been using for many years (since the late 1990s) has undergone change.  Not the usual change for no reason that happens in relation to the graphics, which is often for the worse, but they actually decided to change the size format.  To add affront, the ISBN number is exactly the same and the size indicated on the cover is the same as the older version.  So, to make matters more complicated should I try to find the original, I will have to speak with whoever is in charge of the inventory wherever that may be.  The store that I usually get it from no longer has any stock, and so I went to the only other place and picked up a grand total of 27 books.  Why this number, you may ask?  Because I am currently at Drawingbook Number 270, and I have three more in my closet.  After adding these 27, it will become an even 300, which I have decided will be the final one in this series (should I be alive and able to complete them).  What happens after that is anyone's guess.
