- Pub Format - This is the binding format of the publication. For books, commonly used formats are:
- hc - hardcover. Used for all hardbacks of any size. A book is a hardback if it is constructed so that the cover is intended not to be flexible; there exist leatherbound paperbacks, for example, and these should not be marked 'hc'.
- tp - Trade paperback. Used for anything significantly larger than a paperback. 7.5" x 5" is a common size, but there exist many variant sizes larger than this, all of these should be simply recorded as "tp". This includes large format artbooks in paper covers, for example.
- pb - Paperback. Typically 7" x 4.25"; low-height paperbacks such as Ace Books from the fifties are about half an inch shorter, but this does not need to be noted.
- ph -- Pamphlet. Used for short (in page count), unbound, staple-boud, or otherwise lightly bound publications.
- Digest -- includes both standard digest size, at about 7" x 4.5", and also large digest, such as recent issues of Asimov's, which are about 8.25" x 5.125".
- dos - Dos-a-dos. Use this for books published in dos-a-dos format, such as Ace doubles and Capra Press back to back books.
- For magazines, use one of the following:
- Digest -- includes both standard digest size, at about 7" x 4.5", and also large digest, such as recent issues of Asimov's, which are about 8.25" x 5.125".
- pb -- For magazines published in a paperback format.
- Pulp -- the common pulp size: 6.5" x 9.5"
- Bedsheet -- e.g. early issues of Amazing; or the 1942-43 version of Astounding: 8.5" x 11.25"
- Tabloid -- e.g. the British Science Fiction Monthly: 11" x 16"
- For publications which don't fit the above categories, use the closest approximation and make a note in the note field. If a magazine is between sizes for the above categories, use the closest one and make a note. Small variations don't need to be noted; e.g. Interzone is generally a quarter-inch or sometimes more away from the standard bedsheet size, but can just be listed as bedsheet.
