Re: incorrect @smallbook documentation

        By default, TeX typesets pages for printing in an 8.5 by 11 inch
      format.  However, you can direct TeX to typeset a document in a 7 by
      9.25 inch format that is suitable for bound books by inserting the
      following command on a line by itself at the beginning of the Texinfo
      file, before the title page:
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

           @smallbook

    This is not optimal.  It should rather read something like this:

      ... before the @copying block or the title page (whatever comes
      first).

I think I've fixed texinfo.tex (new version on prep) so that you don't
have to say @smallbook (or whatever) before @copying.  (Although
personally I feel that @smallbook and the like should never be in the
Texinfo source, anyway.)

Let me know if you find problems.

Thanks,
karl
