Hi guys,
I shall be working to put all the information about the Satyrinae of the Western Palearctic in a book, a project which will definitely take years to conclude.
However I was wondering what size should a home/study book be? I know that a field guide should be handy so that it can be easy to carry but a book which is meant to be used exclusively at home can be of any size.
So I decided to setup a small poll to get a feel of your preferences. My intention is to depict life-size colour plates, distributional maps, a lot of text and a few other ideas which are still brewing in my mind. Your preferences would be highly appreciated.
According to research I did amongst publishers, these are the standard/normal sizes.
The quotes books besides each size is just to give you an approximate idea of the size of the book.

that depends on what it is excatly : a book or a guide. Book can be big format such as A4 Guide must be smaller and solid to be taken in the wild.

I believe it does not really matter at home, although I now tend to steer away from very heavy and large books . The size that really matters is indeed the rucksack field guide.
