  Hardcover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hardcover books are often printed on acid-free paper, and are much more durable than paperbacks, which have flexible, easily damaged paper covers and glued spines.
This method of sale is used for a higher initial profit on the books, as hardcovers are, due to their apparently higher cost in materials, able to be understandably marked up more than paperback editions in the eyes of most consumers.
This makes hardcover books a good example of price discrimination whereby the hardback version of a book is sold to those consumers with low elasticity of demandand the paperbacks sold to those with far greater elasticities whilst marginal costs to the publisher remain very similar.

Rowling opens with a chapter she had wanted to use for the first book, of The Philosopher’s Stone--Lord Voldemort has been creating chaos in the Wizard and Muggle communities alike, the war is in full swing and the Wizarding community now lives in fear.
This book seemed to me as an effort made to keep an editor happy - more of a way of matching commercial necessity than a well-crafted attempt to keep the series moving forward.
If the series ends on the same kind of standard as this book sets it will be an overall disappointment, rather than the triumph it was promising to be up until book five.

Among industry history books, the best can be surprisingly rewarding for general readers and specialists alike, revealing fresh perspectives and insights not only about their primary subjects but about our national experience and character as well.

In the book's closing chapters, Yow compellingly sketches some of the complexities that characterize the transportation building industry's future, challenges inextricable from those of the nation at large.

The fifth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year.
Though she's said she worked out the whole seven-book series on a fateful train ride she took in the late '90s, she couldn't possibly have imagined that the series would turn into this: midnight bookstore parties, record print runs, and a generation of children (and adults) hanging on to her every written word.
The book starts running out of steam before the climactic battle, and that battle itself -- full of noise, flashing spells and wand-handling straight out of a grade-B Western as produced by Jerry Bruckheimer -- is the most poorly constructed scene in the book.
