<p><a name="index-smallbook-1175"></a><a name="index-Small-book-size-1176"></a><a name="index-Book_002c-printing-small-1177"></a><a name="index-Page-sizes-for-books-1178"></a><a name="index-Size-of-printed-book-1179"></a>
By default, TeX typesets pages for printing in an 8.5 by 11 inch
format. However, you can direct TeX to typeset a document in a 7 by
9.25 inch format that is suitable for bound books by inserting the
following command on a line by itself at the beginning of the Texinfo
file, before the title page:
<pre class="example"> @smallbook
</pre>
<p class="noindent">(Since many books are about 7 by 9.25 inches, this command might better
have been called the <code>@regularbooksize</code> command, but it came to be
called the <code>@smallbook</code> command by comparison to the 8.5 by 11
inch format.)
<p>If you write the <code>@smallbook</code> command between the
start-of-header and end-of-header lines, the Texinfo mode TeX
region formatting command, <code>texinfo-tex-region</code>, will format the
region in “small” book size (see <a href="Start-of-Header.html#Start-of-Header">Start of Header</a>).
<p>See <a href="small.html#small">small</a>, for information about
commands that make it easier to produce examples for a smaller manual.
<p>See <a href="Format-with-texi2dvi.html#Format-with-texi2dvi">Format with texi2dvi</a>, and <a href="Preparing-for-TeX.html#Preparing-for-TeX">Preparing for TeX</a>, for other ways to format with <code>@smallbook</code> that do not
require changing the source file.
