Nor of providing binders. > [... much stuff ...] International standard paper sizes (used at least in Europe, England, Australia, and probably many other places where Sun sells) are: A4 210 mm x 297mm (8.27 in x 11.69 in) A5 148.5mm x 210mm (5.85 in x 8.27 in) 2*A5 = 1*A4 These stationery sizes suit our copiers, printers, two- and four- ring binders, and so on. {Just for completeness, there is an A, B and C series of paper sizes, but they all feature that the next smaller size is exactly half of the preceding size, rotated 90 degrees, i.e., a linear reduction of sqrt(2)}.
