I wanted to pay around with the lulu page sizes for printing, so I made some css variables out of their product page: https://xpress.lulu.com/our-products
:root {
/* Lulu Book Sizes */
--US-Trade: 6in 9in; /* The most common size for trade paperbacks and hardcovers, used primarily for fiction but well suited for a variety of book designs. */
--US-Letter: 8.5in 11in; /* Used for hardcover books, manuals, and other large size works, US letter is a great option for image-heavy books. */
--Digest: 5.5in 8.5in; /* A smaller trade size, digest is one of the most commonly used sizes for fiction and nonfiction works. */
--Executive: 7in 10in; /* Executive size fits between US trade and US letter and is commonly used for journals and graphic novels. */
--A5: 5.83in 8.27in; /* Standard size for international trade paperbacks and hardcovers. Similar to US trade size but slightly smaller. */
--A4: 8.27in 11.69in; /* A4 is the standard size used for many magazines and catalogs. */
--Royal: 6.14in 9.21in; /* Royal is slightly larger than US trade, and works well for the same fiction and nonfiction content. */
--Crown-Quarto: 7.44in 9.68in; /* Crown quarto provides a wider page than US trade, and is perfect for a book with two-column printing. */
--Square: 8.5in 8.5in; /* Square format best for accommodating full-bleed images without constraints on landscape or portrait formatting. */
--Small-Square: 7.5in 7.5in; /* Small square is perfect for image-heavy content, such as a travel book, children’s book, or memory book. */
--Pocket-Book: 4.25in 6.875in; /* The smallest Lulu format, used for fiction as well as references and poetry collections. */

--A4-Landscape: 11.69in 8.27in; /* Common internationally, A4 landscape is perfect for photo books or art books. */
