How These Dimensions Are Calculated
spine_width = 80 pages × 0.002500" = 0.2000"
pdf_width = (2 × 8.5") + 0.2000" + 0.25" = 17.4500"
pdf_height = 11" + 0.25" = 11.2500"
pdf_width = (2 × 8.5") + 0.2000" + 0.25" = 17.4500"
pdf_height = 11" + 0.25" = 11.2500"
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 large-format (7" × 10" or 8.5" × 11") book on cream paper offers a warm, literary feel at an oversized scale. Spines range from 0.20" to 0.37". This configuration suits oversized poetry collections, illustrated essay anthologies, and large-format literary editions where the extra page canvas adds elegance. Cream paper is only available for black-and-white interiors. Use the exact spine value from this calculator — rounding cream-paper dimensions produces different widths than rounding white-paper equivalents at the same page count.
