	Conservation: Binding paperbacks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Because paperbacks are invariably monographs and generally new, it is impossible to base binding decisions on patterns of use.
		If a large number of paperbacks must be processed on a regular basis, some thought might be given to investing in a power paper cutter and a gluing machine.
		When the stack is dry, paperback edges may be lightly trimmed on the power paper cutter to make the covers flush, or the protruding edges of boards can be cut off with a hand shear (guillotine).

	Paperbacks as an Area of Bibliographical Study: The Case of Virginia Woolf's Orlando
		But twentieth-century paperbacks don't qualify as rare books, and they are rebound as a matter of policy; often that involves pasting the paperback covers to the new binding.
		Classification is a persistent problem with paperbacks: they are often completely ignored as "real" books and not described at all; this is surprisingly the case even for writers like Dashiell Hammett and Dorothy Sayers -- their bibliographies don't begin to adequately describe the paperbacks that helped establish their popularity and reputation.
		Paperbacks are also often treated as entirely special cases, such as in the bibliography for Kurt Vonnegut.

	Paperback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paperback may refer to a kind of book binding by which papers are simply folded without cloth or leather and bound - usually with glue rather than stitches or staples - into a thick paper cover; or to a book with this type of binding.
		Paperbacks include cheap mass market paperbacks, in the standard "pocketbook" format generally printed on newsprint or other low quality paper, which will discolor and disintegrate over a period of decades, and more expensive trade paperbacks in larger formats printed on better quality paper, sometimes acid-free paper.
		Paperbacks can be the preferred media when a book is not expected to be a major seller, or in other situations where the publisher wishes to release a book without putting forth a large investment.

	The Paperback Explosion - by Ian Young
		Paperbacks - both original titles and reprints from previous hardcover editions - were an innovation that allowed the new gay literature to proliferate and find its readers outside the traditional bookshops and lending libraries.
		Paperback covers were more explicit, sometimes more attractive, and often better designed than their hardcover equivalents.
		Paperbacks gave homosexuality enormous public visibility at a time when public images of gay men were rare, ugly and frightening.

		Paperback originals - books that never appeared in a hardcover edition - are the 'first editions' of the paperback world with interest in paperback printings following closely behind.
		Paperback books are subject to all the ills that effect all paper collections, and rare or collectible books should be protected from damage that could result in reducing their value.

		THE PAPERBACKS are from Winnipeg, which from THE PAPERBACKS' sound I imagine to be windswept and covered in snow.
		What it all comes down to in indie rock is timing, and the Paperbacks seem to be a few years behind and a couple hooks short of anything close to spectacular.
		The Paperbacks might sound like a half a dozen other bands, but to write them off as a band simply failing to copy a five-year-old sound is doing them a great disservice.

	A Collection of Value: Mass-market Paperbacks at the Library of Congress
		All the early Dell paperbacks were murder mysteries, and the distinctive colored maps of the crime scenes which regularly appeared on the back covers from 1943 to 1951 were much sought after by collectors.
		Paperbacks would also present shelving problems when their distinctly smaller size would be placed in juxtaposition with most other books.
		Some older paperbacks from as early as the late 1950s were also added to the modern receipts after being located in storage.

	GryphonBooks - Collecting Paperbacks
		Paperbacks (or, more accurately, the mass-market paperback we all grew up with) were first introduced by Pocket Books in 1939.
		For us baby boomers paperbacks have always been a part of our lives - often there was a paperback at our side, read after class (or during it!), or on the beach during the summer months, transporting us to new worlds of adventure and wonder.
		Some of the hottest paperbacks in recent years and books of special interest to us baby boomers are movie tie-ins (paperbacks based on films or used to tie-in with them) and TV tie-ins (paperbacks about popular TV shows of the 50s to the 90s).

	MoMA.org \| The Collection \| Rachel Whiteread. Untitled (Paperbacks). 1997
		Untitled (Paperbacks) is the negative cast of the interior of a library, turned inward; a room filled with the spectral marks of books whose contents and titles appear to be lost.
		The plaster surfaces are a visible manifestation of the room—the books' binding colors, their widths, and even the texture of their pages are still "readable." Whiteread's sculpture creates tension between the haunting and the poetic, the monumental and the fragile, and the ephemeral and the eternal.
		Untitled (Paperbacks) is a room-sized installation that feels empty but isn't quite: on all four walls hang rows of long white objects that look like shelves but are not, for they are plaster, not wood, and their surfaces are uneven, and vacant.

	Are Trade Paperbacks the Future of Comics?
		A parent might be willing to buy their child a $2.50 comic book, but the $12.95 minimum for a trade paperback may be a different matter altogether.
		While comic books may have begun as something for kids, they have matured beyond that, and the target audience is now in their teens, so the question of affordability may be moot.
		Nevertheless, Vertigo announced the first trade paperback before the first story arc was even finished, a move which certainly contributed to poor sales of the monthly issues.

	The Paperback Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		From the beginnings of the Paperback Revolution, the paperback rack has been as ubiquitous a fixture as the books themselves.
		It was the metaphor of the paperback rack, along with a healthy dose of materialist hermeneutics, which came to the project's rescue.
		(Much like some paperback racks of the 1950s and 1960s, our rack is a true assemblage, freely mixing genres and publishing houses.) Clicking a book will let you examine its covers and several interior pages, highlighting each book's physical "feel" and appearance and illustrating several aspects of its bibliographic encoding.

	Locus Online: Reviews by Claude Lalumière
		When mass market paperbacks hit American newsstands and bookshelves in the late 1930s, it heralded the most important change in the distribution of print since the invention of the printing press itself.
		Vintage paperback cover illustrations abound (more than 600 according to the cover copy), and the quality of the reproductions is excellent.
		Although many paperbacks were overtly reactionary in regards to nonreproductive sexualities, Stryker explains that some nevertheless covertly gave voice to writers whose ideas and lives could find little avenues of expression in a heterosexually oppressive dominant culture.

		If the book is a "PBO," a paperback original, the first printing of the first edition would be considered the true first edition, an enormously important designation to the collector of modern firsts.
		These paperbacks, targeted to the increasingly literate American public, were intended as an affordable alternative to hardcovers.

		The first Penguin paperbacks were published in 1935, but at first only as an imprint of Bodley Head with the books originally distributed from a church crypt.
		By this time the paperback industry in the UK had begun to grow, and Penguin found itself in competition with the then-fledgling Pan Books.
		The paperbacks are also printed on non-acid-free pulp paper which, by some accounts, tends to yellow and brown within a couple of years.
