11"*14" is still bulky. Less bulky than charts, though. Will take a substantial part of my deck bag - and won't fit into a "map pocket" of on the deckbag, so will have to be stored on the deck. If you carry any deck bag, opening the bag with many small items to retrive the map book isn't a good idea. When I made my own laminated map books for those regions that I needed (following the advice of sombedy on this list), I made it about 8"*10".
