As a historic example of usage, issues 1-8 of Traveller's Digest are 5.5x8.5. (They switched to Letter on issue 9.
I'll note that most print houses no longer list Digest, Trade, nor other half-ANSI sizes, nor even use Letter other than as a parenthesized.
I think the labels should simply be removed, using only the measurements, aside from Letter, A4.
I've seen a few RPG 'zines on 7.5×8.5 back in the day, but those were locally produced mimeo stuff from the late 80's, and I never bought any.

Aside from the Geek, the places I'm seeing "Trade" listed as 5x8 are all relatively new POD houses who don't use standard ansi nor ISO labels for anything but A and B series, and list 5x8, 5.5x8.5 and 6x9 as all being digest.As a historic example of usage, issues 1-8 of Traveller's Digest are 5.5x8.5.

The answer is "yes", but I have to wait for my wife to tell me how many of which type. Please, hold...

IKEA GROUP BUY
I'm going to IKEA tomorrow (Friday) to buy, among other things, the following three items. If you want some too (for event pickup, obviously), PM me by noon and I'll add them to my count.
