Geoffroy de Boismenu. Image System 72 Polaroids / USA 1993 -1995.  RVB/JANVIER. 2011.

I came across this book - which is really a loose leaf collection of Image system (Spectra) images each somewhat larger than an LP (that's about 12 inches for those of you who don't know what vinyl is, and about 30cm for those of you who prefer metric). The images are printed on both sides. As the image below highlights the white borders are cut back to a brief and equal sided frame around all four sides of the image.

On the increase in image scale the website http://europe.agnesb.com/ notes: 'Because of the size of the book, the reader looses the scale of the polaroids, but is charmed by the uniqueness of this now-considered vintage technic.' (http://europe.agnesb.com/en/bside/section/chez-agnes-b/activities/image-system%2C-72-polaroids-1).
