Regardless of make or style, when you are choosing a sketchbook it should meet these 2 requirements:

1).  Pick a size that is convenient for you to always have on hand.  For me it must fit in my pocket.  I've discovered that if it's convenient to carry, I always carry it with me. 

2).  Needs to be durable.  Because you'll always carry it with you, select a pad that is well constructed.  Even if it costs more, it is well worth the investment.  I've found Moleskine brand to be the most durable.  It has proven to be the only brand I've used that can withstand the punishment of consistent abuse without the binding coming apart.

I always carry an artist pocket-size Moleskine, 192pg, plain paper sketchpad wherever I go.

I saw a lady on line at Starbucks and all I had was a pastry bag.

I can't believe I almost didn't draw this, because all I had was a pastry bag.

When inspired it's OK to do what you can with whatever you have at the moment.
