The standard book size is six inches wide and nine inches tall (6x9). Your book will probably be cheapest to print, easiest to read, and easiest to sell (e.g., it'll fit on bookstore shelves) in this size. Larger books are harder to hold, carry, or put on a shelf.
Some publishers, especially in genres like romance, have requirements as uniform as a muffin tin: Each manuscript will be long enough to fill a book of exactly so many pages. Others are far more flexible. In the days of the typewriter, a double-spaced page with 1-inch margins would hold an average of 250 words.
