Q: Book Sizes

Hi friends!

 

Meghan with PrestoPhoto here - I need a little help. I'm researching book sizes because we want to try and get as close as possible size-wise to the books that were previously available for Aperture users. Katy and a couple of others have super generously done some measuring for me but I'm putting this out there to get as much data as possible.

 

If anyone has any of the book sizes listed below, would you mind helping a girl out with some quick measuring? And please correct me if any of the sizes I have are different or just totally wrong.

 

Thank you so much in advance!!!
