Art book sizes....blahblahblah

I got bored today so I took my art books out of my collection box to look through the beautiful pages and I noticed that a few of my books were smaller than the standard doujinshi size. Generally the largest doujinshi size A4 are used for art books though sometimes they're used for comic pages, but in rare cases. It is common though for art books to come in B5 size.  Actually most of my art books are that size, but I don't think I've ever seen any A5 art book with the exception of my mini sketch books that I own. Like I was saying I noticed that my "B5" books were actually irregular with some being wider or shorter than the average B5 size. As you can see the picture below the book on the top left is an average B5 doujinshi. The other 3 are supposed to be a B5, but are actually not. I myself don't mind at all since the art inside is beautiful, but I thought it was interesting since the doujinshi books that I purchase always come in the right size as stated when I purchased them. Though I have a feeling that the artists chose to pick an irregular size for their art books. Their A4 books are always in standard size so there's never any irregular sizes. I'm so happy that some of their A4 books came in hardcover so I don't need to worry about bent corners. This is the first time I've ever seen a "hardcover" doujinshi much less an art book. I've only seen official art books that come as hardcovers. Anyways I just like to comment on random things so yeah here's my rambling about my doujinshi books, which I will probably will talk about a lot since it's currently my obsession (slightly) and it helps with my boredom when there's no interesting game to play, anime to watch and manga to read. Doujinshi collecting helps me fill the gaps of a fangirl's fantasy of bishonen anime/manga characters and such. XD
