I know the A-series is more common, but I sometimes prefer the B-series. It's nice if, for example, you're looking for something between A4 and A5 (i.e. B5).

I think b6 slim love comes purely from the traveler's notebook. And even then that's a format most were putting up with rather than enjoying. But you know how things go when things get popular. People just start doing the popular thing, including for capturing that same aesthetic, and the b6 slim travelers notebook has a very particular aesthetic thanks to how long and tall it is

I suspected as much, and you put it very nicely; thanks!
