7 × 10 inches is the smallest of the genuinely large trims and a good compromise for books that need room for diagrams, exercise space, or images but would look unwieldy at US Letter size.
It is one of the five trims available in hardcover, which makes it a practical choice for a workbook you also want to sell as a durable edition.
Being a large trim, it uses the higher printing-cost table. For a mostly-text book that difference can outweigh the layout benefit, so it is worth checking the numbers before committing a text-heavy manuscript to this size.
