Popular Book Trim Sizes And When To Use Them


WDP offers a wide range of paper trim sizes, bindings, interior, and cover options. The most common trim sizes for standard trade fiction and nonfiction books include: 5" x 8", 5.5" x 8.5", and 6" x 9". But there are a number of other trim size options you can choose from, shown in the chart below. From novels to cookbooks, we can recommend the best options to suit your needs.

The most common types of books we print are: ​
Digest — 5.5” x 8.5”
Excellent choice for both Fiction and Nonfiction, Poetry books and Spiritual Journals provided they aren’t overly long. 

​Small Square — 7.5” x 7.5”
Also, a good trim size for Children’s Books. 

US Letter — 8.5” x 11”
8.5" x 11" trim size is great for manuals, textbooks, and study guides.
 ​
Pocket Book — 4.25” x 6.87”
These are the books you see on the specialty racks near the checkout line at the grocery store or at the airport. This is an unusual trim size for self-published books.

US Trade — 6” x 9”
This size is a popular choice for novels, self-help books and memoirs. 

Square — 11” x 8.5”
Square trim sizes are great for books with a lot of imagery like children’s books, cookbooks, and photography books. 
​

Our commitment and goal is to deliver quality products in the most efficient and effective manner at low cost to our authors, so that they can make the most on their royalties.
