Art Book Question (Patreon)

I'm getting closer to done on the Blood Ladders art book (while juggling the Kickstarter stuff), and it's time to make a decision about the size of the book. 

On one hand, I can make it a 6x9 hardcover, which means it will be the same size/shape as the novels in the series. But it's an odd size for an art book.

My other choice is 8.5x11, which is a nice big space for each piece of art, but... if you shelve it next to your Morgan novels, it's going to look awkward.

Which do you prefer?

If I had the paper, the shelves would be sized for the paper; since I don't, I want the big pictures.

I have no practical horse in this game because I can't see well enough for a book without accessible words to call to me. But from a logistics pov -- how many pages are you talking? Because you don't mention if the 8x11 book is also hardcover or not, and if it's not, it would be a lot more crumple prone, but if it is, I have to assume that the material investment for a larger hardcover would also cost more. And a fewer-pages 8.5x11 would still be more crunchable than either a more-pages 8.5x11 or a 6x9 which would have comparatively more support from its smaller cover? So the more pages you have, the more sturdy the resulting book will be at a larger size; the fewer pages you have, the more the math and physics would lean toward the smaller book? (Years ago, before I lost a lot of my vision, I was involved in print production for yearbooks. Similar size to thickness to cost calculations there.)
