    If ONLY you had of added the sizes of the books you were speaking about! I was waiting to hear the actual size of the red box. Otherwise great information.

      This comment is quite old so I don't know if I will be of much help, but I've heard the most common paperback dimensions are 5x8 and hardcover dimensions are 6x9!

    When you say 100 pages is that each front and back equaling 1 page or each page side is counted equaling 100 pages?

    Hi and thanks for the tips. Can publishers sort of publish any dimensions of a book that I have set my writing in?

    I've watched several videos on book sizing. I don't get it. Most all commercially distributed novels are about 4 1/8 x 6 7/8. Why is this never pointed out? Go to any book store with a tape measure and check for yourself. KDP allows for this custom size. I just published one through them, bought my own ISBN# and local bookstores are putting it on their shelves as a local author.

      That is the British A Format book size, 178 x 111mm popularised by Penguin Books as an economic print size with reasonable text size and line lengths and which fitted into a lady's handbag or men's suit pocket.
      You will find it hard to get the exact size just with a tape measure as printers do a rough job of trimming books so they vary a fair bit from the nominal size.
