The bedsheet format (also known as large pulp) was the size of many magazines published in the United States in the first quarter of the 20th century. Magazines in bedsheet format were roughly the size of Life but with square spines. While the bedsheet size varied slightly from magazine to magazine, a standard bedsheet size is usually 9¾" x 12". Dick Eney's Fancyclopedia II gives the following entry: Sometimes the description "bedsheet" has been applied to magazines of the bedsheet size but with stapled rather than square spines.
