[DCRM-L] DCRM-L Digest, Vol 119, Issue 15: Paris edition 32-mo?

Wed Jan 20 11:21:58 MST 2016

I've just now seen it listed in digitized c19 catalogs as 18mo, just as
unlikely as 32mo. I'd have guessed  24mo, in a French (8/4) variation of
the imposition shown by Gaskell for 24 in 12s (the last of the imposition
diagrams), which unfolds to a foolscap sheet; but the watermarks wouldn't
be where you have them, which does sound like 12mo. I have seen duodecimos
that small. Is yours very tightly trimmed?
