<< Just a short technical question:
What does the term "trade" paperback mean (vs. "ordinary" paperback)? >>

My understanding is this - and someone please correct me. A normal paperback -
your King/Grisham bestsellers etc - are called A format paperbacks, and then
you have B and C format paperbacks which are larger. These larger formats are
generally called 'trade' paperbacks.
