I have just received my 2005 Chiltern's seed catalogue, which is, as
usual packed with interesting items.
On the down side, the catalogue measures 29.6 cm high, 10.5 cm wide
and 0.9 cm thick. This idiosyncratic format makes it difficult to
handle and utterly impossible to put in a bookshelf. Somebody with
influence over them might point out that it is about as unfunctional
design as possible. What is wrong with either a standard octavo or a
standard A5 format?

I noticed that several UK govt. departments use non standard paper
sizes making photo copying difficult.

Clever, eh?
