Which book size should I go with?

[Benjamin]

Im debating over which book size i want to go with, I dont want too big or too small. I might go to A5 as it can be used in the extended AND global reach. However, i would also like pocket size BUT that can only be used for the extended reach and NOT the global reach. Also what are the terms and conditions for ebooks?

Spend some time readin the forum and the FAQs.

There is no reason you cannot create your book as every option.

I went for A5 since I think it is a nice handy size, and it turns out the paper is nicer than the US trade versions. However, it became obvious that some outlets want US trade size and won't touch A5, so do some homework before commiting. Having to tweak the format of two similar sized books with the same contents can be a real pain everytime you make a revision.

You can order any size listed. Get proof copies and then decide. See what fits your book best

Good luck

When Serenity says "order" I am sure he means create because for every book size and shape you need to make new files to 'fit' that shape.
I started with A5 hardback and the price almost made me fall off my chair, so now I use paperback pocket book. The problem with BOD is the cost and you have to compromise to keep it realistic for the contents.

Hello, did you upload your book in the A5 format or was it converted by Lulu into the A5 format from the A4 format?

Are you aware of how old this thread is?

[potetjp]

Yes, June 2011, so what?

[kevinlomas]

Well, because, perhaps, the person who posted the original question (who was actually answered) may not even be on Lulu now!
