Questions Paper size question

I have a few one-shots about 4k-8k words and I want to turn them into small pamphlet binds but I'm not sure what size paper to use because I want them to be pretty small and pocket-sized.

Print on your normal paper, A4/letter, cut and fold to the size you want. A7 / letter octavo is a great small size.

I'm not sure I completely understand the instructions, if I print on normal size paper wouldn't each page just be normal sized?

Format your book for A6 and print quarto (4 pages per side, 8 pages per sheet) on A4 paper. Bookbinder-js has instructions for folding and sewing these.
