8vo
8vo, also known as octavo, is a technical term used in the book production industry to refer to the size of a book page. It essentially tells us that the original sheet of paper was folded three times to produce eight leaves (16 pages when printed on both sides). An 8vo book, therefore, is about the size of most modern hardcover books, typically measuring about 6 by 9 inches. It is one of the most common formats for books. The term "8vo" can also refer to a book of this size, regardless of its actual printing format.
