 Printing "Small" Books
 ======================
 
   By default, TeX typesets pages for printing in an 8.5 by 11 inch
 format.  However, you can direct TeX to typeset a document in a 7 by
 9.25 inch format that is suitable for bound books by inserting the
 following command on a line by itself at the beginning of the Texinfo
 file, before the title page:
 
      @smallbook
 
 (Since many books are about 7 by 9.25 inches, this command might better
 have been called the `@regularbooksize' command, but it came to be
 called the `@smallbook' command by comparison to the 8.5 by 11 inch
 format.)
 
   If you write the `@smallbook' command between the start-of-header and
 end-of-header lines, the Texinfo mode TeX region formatting command,
 `texinfo-tex-region', will format the region in "small" book size
 ( Start of Header).

 produce examples for a smaller manual.

 for TeX, for other ways to format with `@smallbook' that do not require
 changing the source file.
