I was recently made aware of these IDW sketchbook issues, Alex Milne, Livio Ramondelli and Trevor Hutchison each got one as well as the Infestation crossover. However the internet seems to have little to no information on them and I can't find anything at all about the Milne and Ramondelli sketchbooks save for the initial solicits/listings. Did anyone end up getting any of these?

 

So I have three out of four (missing the Livio Ramondelli Sketchbook, but good to know that exists), but I got all three out of back issue boxes.

None have cover prices, which likely means they were either free giveaways or incentives.

The Infestation book is definitely an incentive based on the RI on the cover. I think the Alex Milne sketchbook was likely an incentive as well, since the UPC comic code is 02231, which means it was likely it was released with issue #22 of the 2009 series.

The Trevor Hutchison one I think was just a giveaway between All Hail Megatron and the 2009 ongoing series (but likely everything else, just speculation on my part.)

 

From what I've gathered the Milne, and possibly also Ramondelli, sketchbooks were incentives for shops buying 20 copies each of 2 Transformers issues. I did find a copy of the Ramondelli book on eBay but the price is a bit high for my liking. Does the Milne one have anything especially noteworthy or interesting in it? he was always a favorite of mine.
