Oh, sorry, here's the link: http://www.drwhomerch.com/beta01/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=49&products_id=192

They list it at $19.99.

I haven't looked at any other online stores yet, so pricing may be cheaper elsewhere. The 2 places I usually haunt don't have it listed yet.

And what size is an A5 book?Weeeelll... The measurements of an A5 book, are based on the old Imperial system that we've been using here in the UK since the reign of King Arthur (it was, in fact, Merlin who invented the current technique for paper measurement). It works on the premise that the length of the first joint of your thumb is a "Knub", and there are sixteen and a half knubs in a "Spoondog". If you take your measurement in spoondogs divide by two, and multiply by the number of letters in the reigning Monarch's name, you have the measurement in "Yards", of which there are 1760 (the year George II died) in a Mile, this is why things are further away from each other under the Reign of Elizabeth than they were under any of the Henries or Georges. For smaller measurements the length of a mile when looked at on a standard ordinance survey map is called a "Beryl-reid". Under ancient printing laws, the beryl-reid is the standard unit of measurement, for an A5 piece of paper, you're looking at a sheet that is 5 Beryl-reids long. Divide

The sonic screwdriver is 7" long. There's your scale.

[kraftyhorse]

7"? Is that what he told you? ;-)

I whipped out a tape measure and measured it, baby! I don't take anything on faith. (Unless it's not a "full sized" one. Hummm. Can't trust anybody.)

A5 = 21cm tall by 14.85cm wide
It's an international paper size that everyone BUT America uses. Dates from the start of the C20th.
