6" × 9" Paperback Cover Dimensions: 100 Pages, B&W White
How These Dimensions Are Calculated
pdf_width = (2 × 6") + 0.2252" + 0.25" = 12.4752"
pdf_height = 9" + 0.25" = 9.2500"
The 0.25" added to both width and height accounts for 0.125" bleed on each side. Your cover image must extend into this bleed area to avoid white edges after trimming.

An 80–149-page book at 5.5" × 8.5" or 6" × 9" trim on white paper covers a broad range of non-fiction short guides, professional development books, and supplementary academic workbooks. Spine widths here run 0.18"–0.34". The 6" × 9" format signals "serious non-fiction" to many readers and booksellers, making it a strong default for self-help, business, and how-to titles. At this page count range you can legally include spine text, though smaller counts will require very small type. Verify your exact spine using the formula before committing to a design template.
