Our Book Formats
What formats of books do we sell? Below is the list of book formats available on our site. Each book will have one of the below formats listed in its description. We sell many books in multiple formats so be sure to select the correct one. Audiobook A reading or performance of a book recorded on cassette or CD, often released in abridged and/or unabridged forms. Sometimes, the author will read the work, but usually a professional reader is used. Hardcover Pages are encased in a rigid cover that's, in most cases, then sheathed in a dust jacket. These books, which are often the first available edition of a title, are usually more expensive and durable than paperbacks. Paperback A large-format softcover book -- ranging in size from 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" to 8 x 11" to larger -- most often used for literary titles. These well-bound books usually sell for a price higher than mass-market paperback editions. Large Print Hardcover books printed with larger type on the page. These books are usually designed for visually impaired readers. Library Binding A version with a specially fortified binding and durable hardcover that is designed to withstand repeated use. Often used for children's titles and usually more expensive than standard hardcover editions. Mass Market A small-format, low-cost paperback -- usually 4 1/4" x 6 3/4" -- most often used for genres such as mystery, romance, and sci-fi, as well as bestsellers with broad commercial appeal. |
