1.  What is the largest book size we can get in hardcover?


For "case laminate" binding, up to 8" x 11.5" trim. The cover can
be printed in 4 colors, with a matte or glossy finish. I found an
example here <http://paperbackrocker.com/tag/lightning-source>.

If you go 6.14 x 9.21" ("Royal octavo') or smaller -- the current
PDF seems to be that size -- you also have a choice of cloth
binding, blue or grey, with or without dust jacket. I found an
example here

Thank you so much for showing the differences!

I'd REALLY LIKE PEOPLE'S OPINIONS HERE.

I prefer cloth bound without dust jacket, for the simple reason that
we don't have the resources to do a really pretty full color cover
and it's not that sort of book anyway, but what do other people
think?

I prefer cloth as well, and without dust jacket. Dust jackets let you use fancy cover images, but I don't think it's appropriate for the CLL.

3.  Does my PDF actually match all their requirements?

The margins seem to conform to the 0.5" (13mm) requirement. The
font size seems adequate -- even generous -- to me, but it would
be good to have more eyes on it.

+1

When I first looked at the PDF, the font looked quite big to me, but it's probably fine. I feel the margins could definitely be bigger. (making them bigger would of course increase the page count immensely)
