These same classes also have \texttt{ext} versions (\texttt{extarticle}, \texttt{extbook}, and so forth). With these classes, the other available size options are 8pt, 9pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, and 20pt.
The default for the \texttt{memoir} class is 10pt, and the other available options are 9pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt, 25pt, 30pt, 36pt, 48pt, and 60pt.
