But that is "destroying" the original design. A well done design will look very bad if abused in that way... Unless you read it using a magnifying glass. > A5 is a convenient format to hold; the width provides a comfortable line > length at readable body-text point sizes, and it divides conveniently But if you scale down from A4 to A5 the line length versus text size is not very much of a pro. And I really think that if you are going to go down from A4 then A6 is better. A5 seems to be used a lot only because it is easy to acheive. But ok, that is really another matter... same as to stop people from using Times New Roman and Arial for everything:-) > into the most common paper size used in (European) desktop printers, so > it should be no great surprise that printing A5 booklets is a common > usage case! But what do they use for stapling it? Most office staplers can't reach into the middle of an A4 sheet.
