Types
Paperbacks include inexpensive mass-market paperbacks, in the standard "pocketbook" format. These are generally printed on low quality paper, which will discolor and disintegrate over a period of decades. More expensive "trade paperbacks" in larger formats are printed on quality paper such as acid-free paper.
- "A Format" paperbacks are 110mm x 178mm (4.33" x 7.01") in size
- "B Format" paperbacks are 129mm x 198mm (5.12" x 7.8")
- "C Format" (trade paperbacks) are 135mm x 216mm (5.32" x 8.51").
