My text book in math and L.arts in 3 inches , not kidding . What are some normal school book sizes ? Thanks !:D

hahaha.3 inches = 3*2.5cm=7.5cm. so the measure is to thickness.middle school and high school I attended didnt have a code as to what kind of bag I had to use.My brother in high school have to use a bag similar to ones the website shows, and it has a space enough to accomodate your textbook.

I think those bags in the pictures are enough to carry textbook. What a large textbook are you carrying everyday?

In Japan,we use small text book and each semester we get new text book.(some of them are little thicker and we use for 1 year) usually B5 size...

The pics you indicated tell all. The bags all have enough capacity for one day carry. Text books, note books, guide books, references, some more food or toys if necessary. Japanese standard school book sizes are not much different from American ones. If some extra things like sporting wears or else, pupils have to carry, they take another side bag to go to school in Japan.
