I’ve come to the conclusion that a great travel sketchbook must possess three key traits: Good quality paper, a cover that protects and supports, and a binding that doesn’t impede the hand or brush. The Maruman 5x7 spiral bound sketchbook has all three and yet costs less than a cup a coffee. I buy them by the dozens and find that they can handle everything from Sharpies to watercolors.
