Jeff it's not trimmed they are printed that way, and the folds are spot on in the middle..
T, I personally do think it hurts the price, they never/shouldn't bring what a standard Quad would fetch. I would always want a full size Quad over a smaller version, and as Mark rightly says this should be mentioned in the description. Oh, and I did only quickly glance at it at 6:30 this morning before rushing out to work, but did notice the ratio was off...
Quite frankly I've never got this London Underground thing, maybe one of the Londoners can explain it.
I have seen full size Quads in the underground, I even have an underground Asylum Quad which is (slightly) different to the normal Quad artwork-wise, but is still a full 30x40. Also, why is it just certain titles that are these so called "London underground" Quads, as technically they are not a Quad, more like a Horizontal 1Sht!!!
