I work as an architect and laying out building assessments, RFP's, etc in a landscape format is often much more efficient when conveying information than portrait, but the existing 9x7 landscape format is just too small. Something larger would be great!!!! I would love to echo the desire for a large format landscape size (8.5×11 or 8×10.5 if this slightly smaller size would also allow full bleed).

The current Pocket size is still too large to really fit easily in a pocket. I work with small handbooks, rule books, guidebooks, and reference books designed to be literally carried around in your pocket while traveling or involved in activities. 4 x 5 stapled.

This would be good for poetry books, novels and a variety of other things. I'd use it immediately.

Architecture schools would use this format alot for documenting end-of-term studio work folios and also student portfolios. I also work with professors who would use lulu more if they could publish their work in larger landscape folios. Urban planning feasiblity studies would be possible in the tabloid landscape layout too. it would be great if lulu could do larger landscape layouts with full bleed such as legal and tabloid in landscape format.
