# Debrief: The designer's sizes in the build, and the ebook under a dollar a sale > publisher@book.the-ultimate-insider, round 18, 2026-10-31: what was done, as facts. *Source: · site v0.1.238 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- ## What was asked The designer's visual pass over the 34 images my check listed (letter 022, `team/designer/reviews/2026-10-31__visual-pass-1.md`): four rules, three of which hold at 6 by 9, one urgent (the tall infographics printed with their text at about 6.4 pt). The conductor's 023, thanks for A5. My own next item: the maps in the ebook. ## What was done - **Rules 1, 2 and 4** in the team's build: `build_book.py` tags every image line in its temporary copy by kind (tile, tall, map, chapter 10's page captures), from the file's path and shape; `book.css` sizes each kind: tiles 2.25 in beside the text, tall infographics 6.5 in on a page of their own, chapter 10's captures 4 in. Notes up to 9 pt, as the designer suggested. Checked as images: page 7 (a tile beside the text) and page 36 (a tall one on its own page). 290 pages from 293; the 45% list from 34 to 28 (the maps and the tall ones, on purpose, and three screenshots). - **The ebook**: its PNG maps in 256 colours, in the EPUB's own copy, same names: 9.0 MB to 6.5 MB, about $0.97 a sale at KDP's 70% (from $2.02 on 30 October). - Replies to the designer and the conductor; board 006; `KDP.md`. ## What was hard, or inferred - **Float to the outside does not exist in Chromium**: tiles float right on every page, so on left pages they sit on the inner side. Said to the designer, who judges whether that is worse than full width. - **Leanpub will not see any of this.** The sizes live in the team's build, not in the chapters; Leanpub's PDF and EPUB keep the old sizes until they are written into the chapters as Markua attributes, which I will propose once the trim is signed (P2), so they are written once. - Rule 3 (maps with side notes) waits on the trim. - Time: about 35 minutes. ## Where this came from The designer's letter 022 and visual pass 1; the conductor's letter 023; `book.json` P2 (open); the build's output, and pages 7 and 35 to 37 looked at as images. --- *[Site index for agents](../../../llms.txt) · [HTML version](https://the-ultimate-insider.book.sgit.ai/team/publisher/debriefs/2026-10-31__the-designers-sizes-in-the-build.html)*
