Re Frank and Paul's comments below"
"Just a short technical question:
What does the term 'trade' paperback mean (vs. "ordinary"
paperback)?" (Frank)
"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." (Paul)
I believe that pocket-sized paperbacks are considered
"regular" p/b, while
"trade" is a paperbound book that is roughly the same size as
a hardback. - Jim
