Here are the dimensions of the box.
16 x 8 x 12 inches.
40 x 20 x 30 cm (but I don't trust Hugh's conversion there!)
Either way, this just happened to arrive today, it may not be the optimum
size, but it works for me and to show this, here is another offering. This time
it is from a leaflet, that I folded open so that just one page was showing. I
think it is about an a4 or letter size for those across the pond. It is from an
information flyer re travelling with a Guide or Assistance Dog.
Happy snapping.
Sandy.
