Book or paper size (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

octavo

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'book' is the first definition.
(I know that octavo is a type of book)

'paper size' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for octavo that I've seen before include "Size of a book, pages are made by folding a sheet of paper three times to form eight leaves (6)" , "An eight-leaved book or page" , "Common book size" , "Size of book page" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
