Thank you for your answer. I wholeheartedly agree with you, but note that
many internet dealers provide a size without specifying to what it refers.
Often I have a book without a jacket and, when I see a larger size given, I
can't be sure whether I have a book club edition or the size refers to the
boards.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
