THE SIZES OF BOOKS.
How They Are Observation-Disclosures Misleads

How They Are Observation-Disclosures Misleads

Written for THE HELENA INDEPENDENTLY
"HE THING THAT MISLEADS PEG
NJ pie as to the size of books as set
Wy down in lists of catalogues is that
the smaller the book really is, the larger
the number that %designates it. A book de-
scribed as 8 70. is smaller than one
spoken of as 4 to. These figures denote
the number of times the sheet of printing
paper is folded into book leaves, and are
not at all any real measut ement of the
book. An 8 vo. or octave is a book
made up of sheets that are folded into eight
leaves; a to or qnarto is one that has
its sheets folded into four leaves. It will
readily be seen that the latter would be
larger than the former-if the sheets were
of the same size to begin with. But the
fact is that these descriptions are only ap-
proximate, for books to-day are made
in every variety of dimension. One rarely
finds a folio now except in editions dc luxe
or ALIASES. The quarto is not common as
bridged dictionary-too large to be handled
easily. The octave is bigger than most
books, as it usually measures about 10 by 7
inches. The II me is a common size, meas.
uring about s by 6 inches. or a little less.
according to the size of the unfolded sheet,
The lG mo book is. ns generally put ont.
about 6 inches by 3I4 inches; the is mo, q
trile smaller, s inches by q.

their books OF proportions to suit them
selves. with little reference to the old
