Digest size
Digest size is a standard magazine size, smaller than a conventional bedsheet size magazine but larger than a standard paperback book, approximately 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches.
The most famous digest sized magazine is, perhaps unsurprisingly, Reader's Digest, for which the size appears to have been named. The US TV Guide also uses the format.
Since the 1950s it has also been used by several science fiction magazines including:
- New Worlds
- Science Fantasy
- The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction
- Galaxy Science Fiction
- Astounding (later Analog)
- Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
The manga graphic novel format is similar to digest size, although slightly narrower and generally thicker.
The A5 paper size used by many UK fanzines is slightly wider and taller than digest size.
