They make tons of coffee table books. Most of their books are larger than pocket size. Most are at least 8x11 and lots are size xl or the “Summo” size which is quite large.

Sumo comes with a stand made out of metal.

As you are not using units for 8x11 I guess that's inches, which is a funny unit, considering this thread started about German meaning of "Taschenbuch"

8cm x 11cm = 3.14in x 4.33in

8in x 11in = 20cm x 28cm
