It has held its own since 1810, when it was first published in three volumes, demy octavo. |
In any press, the most frequently used sizes of pages are demy quarto, demy octavo, crown quarto and crown octavo. |
The first edition in English, of 1868, was in two volumes demy octavo, the only Murray Darwin to appear in this format, and it occurs in two issues. |
They work with their paper mills to ensure that all black and white demy, royal, A format and B format titles are produced on FSC paper. |
The book is very nicely got up by the publisher in format metric demy 4to and expertly set by the author. |
