The Trip Book Series from Kokuyo is an updated version of the classic Sketch Book Series. They added more colors, changed the logo in the front cover to a bear taking a trip and the pages are dotted instead of grids. The Trip books are intended for people to take travel logs for several trips (for example, travel plans etc). The hard cover makes it easy to take notes out in the field when there's usually no surface to write upon. The paper is smooth and the 5mm dots also makes it ideal for drawing graphs and tables
