Bedsheet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about magazine format. For bedding linens, see bed sheet.

The bedsheet format was the size of many magazines published in the United States in the first third of the 20th Century. Magazines in bedsheet format were roughly the size of Life Magazine but with square spines. One noteworthy bedsheet magazine was Amazing Stories, the first science fiction magazine, in April 1926. While the bedsheet size varied slightly from magazine to magazine, Amazing Stories #1 was 11 inches tall, 8 1/16 inches wide, and 3/8 inch thick (28 cm x 20.3 cm x .95 cm).

Sometimes, especially in science fiction fandom, the description "bedsheet" has been applied to magazines of the bedsheet size but with stapled rather than square spines.
