One likely reason would be the paper used.  Those study Bibles are printed on 
"Bible paper," i.e. the really thin "onionskin" paper that was developed 
especially for printing Bibles.  It's doubtful that the book under discussion 
would be put on that kind of paper, so it would probably come out much 
larger.
