Editions
trade edition
a standard 6 x 9 (technically 5.32" x 8.51') paperback edition of a book, usually perfect bound for durability.
hardback edition
a 6 x 9 (5.32" x 8.51") trade edition affixed to hardcover using a single stitch and glue. Technically not a hardcovr at all.
library edition
a 6 x 9 (5.32" x 8.51") true hardback, with stitched covers reinforced for durability since it must withstand the test of lending.
mass market
a smaller format (4.33" x 7.01") or (5.12" x 7.8") on thin paper and smaller type, glue bound and of short shelf life.
