| | Mark's Vintage Paperbacks -Collecting |
 | | Paperback originals - books that never appeared in a hardcover edition - are the 'first editions' of the paperback world with interest in paperback printings following closely behind. | | | Knowing the condition of the paperback you are buying is essential to collecting, as mentioned in the Collecting Paperback Books section. | | | The paper on which most paperbacks were printed will get brown and brittle with age. |

| | Backspace - The Writer's Place |
| | Because paperback publishers had to pay freight for returned copies, many of which were dirty or damaged, the stores found it more efficient simply to strip the covers off the unsold books, send the insides to be pulped, and return only the covers to the publishers for credit when settling accounts. | | | Although a growing number of traditional bookstores stocked mass-market paperbacks, it was the wholesale distribution network that fueled the huge growth of the book business in the last quarter of the twentieth century, spawning a thriving industry and a generation of bestselling authors. | | | To paperback book publishers, this existing distribution network was the perfect vehicle for delivering their product to a far-flung readership. |

| | GryphonBooks - Collecting Paperbacks |
| | Many vintage era paperbacks were also paperback originals (PBOs), the first time a particular work ever appeared in print and hence some demand high prices in the first edition and antiquarian book markets. | | | One of the most interesting, exploitive, campy and sometimes downright silly areas of paperback collecting is 'sleaze.' These are cheesy, soft-core, exploitation and titillation paperbacks from the late 50s and early 60s, an era when explicit sex was a no-no and never written about. | | | Many paperback collectors come into the hobby as science fiction fans, discover books in other genres, and decide to broaden their collecting horizons. |

| | sffworld.com - Paperbacks |
| | Finnish prints are so small that they usually have only the hardback so I tend to buy books in the english language and not the translated books. | | | Having said all that, a great number of my favorite books are paperback editions... | | | Some books like Erikson's, I guess I'd prefer in hardback because, even though it is unwieldy, the paperbacks have a way of falling apart under all that strucutural stress. |

| | Pulp Fiction Books: Collecting Vintage Paperbacks from Pulp Fiction to Film Noir |
| | If the book is a "PBO," a paperback original, the first printing of the first edition would be considered the true first edition, an enormously important designation to the collector of modern firsts. | | | Demand is always pertinent to the value of any book, too—if the first run of the book is limited, and the book goes on to become an acclaimed novel, early editions tend to become collectible. | | | Here's the skinny: collectors and booksellers sometimes ain't wise to the fact that paperbacks mean greenbacks to the Joe in the know. |

| | sffworld.com - Paperbacks vs Hardbacks: which do you prefer? |
| | I also buy hardbacks if i can't bear to wait for the paperback to be published. | | | As for Jordan: I like his large paperbacks (or soft hardbacks - i think they might trade paperbacks or something). | | | I really don't like it a book comes out in hardcover, then a year or so later, the publisher decides to release the book in trade paperback form instead of regular paperback size. |

| | Books, Not Tales, Get Taller Before Baby Boomers' Eyes - New York Times |
| | Publishers have also raised the cover price of the new books to $9.99, $2 to $3 more than the traditional paperback but still less than the $14 cover price of the digest-size books, known as trade paperbacks, that are now the primary format for nonfiction books and literary novels. | | | The Pocket Books edition of "White Hot," the latest suspense novel by Sandra Brown, is in the new format and will top The Times's list on Aug. 21, the first time one of the new, bigger editions will reach No. 1. | | | For publishers, the main advantage of the new book is that it is the same width as a traditional mass-market paperback, which allows it to fit in the wire racks at airports, grocery stores and drugstores. |

Other publishers are watching closely before joining in. | | | One big reason, it seems, is that baby boomers, historically the biggest mass-market buyers, increasingly find those little books too hard to read. |
