bboyminn:

The USA versions use larger pages with wider margins
and a larger font.

Conversely, UK/Canada version use smaller pages with
narrower margins and a font that is not only smaller
vertically, but more compressed (letters closer
together) on the horizontal. 

The Canadian publisher (Raincoast?) also proudly uses
recycled and environmentally friendly paper. 

Just passing it along.
