These are also sometimes called: arch-1 through arch-6. Also: us-government = 8in 11in us-statement = 5.5in 8.5in us-folio = 8.5in 13in Then there are the imperial sizes: imperial-folio = 15in 22in imperial-quarto = 11in 15in imperial-octavo = 7.5in 11in royal-folio = 12.5in 20in royal-quarto = 10in 12.5in royal-octavo = 6.25in 10in crown-folio = 10in 15in crown-quarto = 7.5in 10in crown-octavo = 5in 7.5in foolscap-folio = 8.5in 13.5in foolscap-quarto = 6.75in 8.5in foolscap-octavo = 4.25in 6.75in medium-quarto = 9in 11.5in demy-quarto = 8.75in 11.25in demy-octavo = 5.625in 8.75in
