Are there advantages or disadvantages to different book sizes for black and white softcover books?
There are a few things to consider when choosing a book size for your black and white softcover, most importantly, the type of book you are publishing. The 6″ x 9″ and 5″ x 8″ books are standard novel sizes. If your book is a novel or memoir, either size would fit your book nicely. If your manuscript is short, you might want to choose the 5″ x 8″ size. If it is long, choose the 6’’x9’’. If your book is a poetry book and you are torn between a 6″ x 9″ and 5″ x 8″, we recommend the 6″ x 9″ size. The extra inch allows for a longer line of text, so that the lines of your poems will have a better chance of reaching the end of the line before they are broken prematurely. The 8.25″ x 11″ book size is ideal for books that lend themselves to a larger format such as: children’s books, coloring books, workbooks, technical guides, cookbooks, screenplays, genealogy books, scrapbooks, books with many charts and graphs, and any other kind of book that just won’t fit into a 6″ x 9″ format.
