As much as I like the numerous Phaidon atlases, they're just too damn big and heavy to be practical. My three atlases (Contemporary, 21st Century, and 20th Century) are stowed away on the one shelf at home that is big and strong enough for them, though they'd be better served at the office, where unfortunately I don't have the space. So when it comes time to browse the atlases, it's nice to have miniature versions of them (a companion to the 21st century atlas also exists). Given that more than 1,000 projects are squeezed into about 400 pages that are 4.5x6" in size, there's limited information: one photo, two sentences, and basic data for each project. This makes the travel version a jumping-off point for exploring elsewhere, be it in the full-size atlas, in other books, or online, including the atlas's own website (it started as a subscription model then switched to free, testament to difficulty in making money online these days). And of course the small size and inclusion of addresses make it perfect for traveling – particularly to Europe, where the bulk of the atlas's projects are located.

Some notes on the largeness of this book, whose pages are 16x21". Yes, it comes with a plastic case, though once it's found a home I doubt anybody would want to move it around. It should have come with a stand as well, both to make it more usable (it's a pain to get off the shelf) and to maintain its binding over time. Sensing that an atlas isn't needed for everybody, Phaidon released a travel edition one year later, but it lacks the numerous photos and drawings that made this pre-Arch Daily book so necessary for architects.
