Can I use watercolor in the String & Space sketchbook?

Light watercolor, yes. For heavy washes, use 300gsm watercolor paper.

Does ink bleed through?

The listing says the 200gsm paper stops ink from reaching the next page.

How is it different from their hardbound sketchbook?

This one is wire-bound, so it folds back on itself and lies flat.
