Booking through Thursday this week:
All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?
I was surfing around some of the responses and was delighted to discover I’m not the only one who likes trade paperback. I like the size. Mass market feels claustrophobic to me and hardcovers are heavy.
And since we’re in recovery mode from The Jonas Brothers concert last night, that’s about all I have to say on the great hardcover/trade/mass market debate.

How are the eardrums?
And… I’m starting to think I’m deeply in the minority for liking mass market!!

I like trades too but I’ll take anything. Hope you had fun!

Were you able to get earplugs beforehand?
I actively dislike hardcovers. As for trade vs. mass market paperbacks, it really doesn’t matter… as long as they contain all the words!

I’d echo Anno. I just don’t like hardcovers because they’re harder to snuggle with in bed.
