Actual page size for 6x9 casebound book

[waltcrawford]

This used to be in the FAQs, but the FAQs seem to be defunct now (I've done 10+ books through Lulu, and it's MUCH harder to find info now than it used to be): What's the page size for a 6x9 casebound book? My understanding is that it's somewhat less than 6x9 (because the covers have to be larger than the interior), but I can't find the actual page size. (Yes, Lulu will convert from a paperback 6x9, but in this case I don't want a paperback version first.) So: What's the actual page size? 5.75x8.75? smaller? Actually 6x9?

Walt,

I believe the page size is 6x9 and the cover is slightly larger

Thanks (belatedly). I assumed otherwise because 8.5x11 casebound uses a smaller page size (and Lulu's conversion routine works nicely). Book prepared and supposedly in the mail somewhere...now, back to the usual perfect-bound trade paperbacks!

Walt,

I'm glad to help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
