They make tons of coffee table books. Most of their books are larger than pocket size. Most are at least 8x11 and lots are size xl or the “Summo” size which is quite large.

Sumo comes with a stand made out of metal.

As you are not using units for 8x11 I guess that's inches, which is a funny unit, considering this thread started about German meaning of "Taschenbuch"

8cm x 11cm = 3.14in x 4.33in

8in x 11in = 20cm x 28cm

A pocket sized art book, that’s thousand of pages, that’s the size of the average paperback book. Hmm…

I am suspicious as to whether you have ever seen a taschen brand book before. They are not trade paperback size, they are coffee table books. According to Amazon they tend to be in the 500-600 range.

Taschen makes a variety of different books. They do indeed have a "pocket size" line about different artists, but I think it might be discontinued now. I have one here about Mozart.

Ah, that actually makes for a cool name, then.
