And I just measured my 5561 instructions which happen to be sitting right
next to me, with a metric ruler which happens to be right in front of me.
They are definitely A4 size, so there you go, look for A4 size sheet
protectors.

What I can never remember is which way the sizes go, in other words is A5
smaller or larger? I know the US paper sizes better because I've heard them
in terms of plotter size (A size is 8.5x11, B size is 11x17, C size is
17x22, D size is 22x34, E size is 34x44, etc. Don't know how the smaller
paper sizes are specified though (is it AA for 5.5x8.5?)).
