Pocket-size Talmud/Gemara

Question

Is there is a pocket-size Gemara? Soft cover preferred. This would be a great invention if it doesn't already exist.

I saw a new set in a bookstore in 5 Towns about 2.5 months ago. I almost bought it. Kinda wish I had.
I'm also wondering...the Gemara is by far the most studied Sefer by Jews, and they don't even have one officially?
If you have a mobile device, you can get a PDF of any Masechta from hebrewbooks.org. Plus there's an artscroll app for iOS on the way.

Artscroll is currently making travel-sized paperback English Gemaras. Each only has about 1 or 2 chapters.
Size: 7" x 10"
There's also a "personal-sized" paperback Oz Vehadar.
Size: 6.5 X 9.5
Blum Edition paperback travel Gemara.
Size: 5.25" X 8.25"

Historically, after WWII the Vaad Hatzalah printed pocket sized Gemaras for survivors in the refugee camps.

	+1 for the historical reference (and the rest of the answer as well)! – Seth J Apr 6 '12 at 12:39
	I think the Oz Vehadar is the one I saw in the 5 Towns. Looks nice. – Seth J Apr 6 '12 at 12:44

Shouldn't it be spelled מצוה הבאה בעבירה? – Adam Mosheh May 9 '12 at 20:28
