A lot of folks use the term to refer to just about any
oversized
paperbound book....the term, however, really has nothing to
do with the
physical appearance of the book . It just refers to whether
the book is
marketed and distributed through the "trade" outlets (i.e.,
bookstores) or
through the "mass-market" outlets (drugstores, airport
news-stands, etc.).
