[BKARTS] pocket sketchbook ideas

[kat <kat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
i have received a request for a pocket-sized sketchbook, something small enough to fit into someone's back pocket in their jeans.  So i was wondering- what sort of binding would you use?  i'm thinking maybe a Japanese stitch binding, with a semi-soft cover.  Also, what would you use for the cover?  i need something stiff enough to offer some protection to the inside pages, but soft enough to give when stuck in someone's back pocket.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
kat
