64mo
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006739
A book format, also called sexagesimo-quarto, resulting from folding a single printed sheet of paper six times to produce a signature of 64 leaves or 128 pages. This process creates a very small, miniature book, with each page being one sixty-fourth the size of the original sheet. Due to the small page size and the large number of folds required, this format is uncommon and is primarily used for producing miniature or novelty books rather than for commercial trade printing.
