| Re: Hardback Versus Paperback As paperback is more affordable initially, I would think most new authors would definitely go for paperback first. Trade size paperbacks are a good compromise that seems to have gotten very popular lately. It is also the book type I usually prefer. I enjoy the large size with the smaller price.
The only time I buy hardback, ever, is if it is only available in hardback and it is a book I've been anticipating for a while and it's on sale. |
