What is a paperback book?

Paperback books (also called softcover or softback books) usually feature a thick paper or cardboard cover and are bound with flexible glue binding, or perfect binding. Their compact and lightweight nature makes them ideal for travel. Paperbacks are widely used for various genres, including children’s fiction, young adult fiction, romance, poetry, graphic novels, and religious texts.

What does perfect binding mean?

Perfect binding is the adhesive-based method used for most paperback books. After trimming the back folds, the pages are glued together rather than stitched or stapled as in magazines. Discover how BookBaby Official performs perfect binding.

Frequently asked questions:

Where can I create a paperback book?

You can create and print your paperback book with BookBaby Officials, which provides extensive printing and self-publishing services, including cover design and editing.

What distinguishes paperback from hardcover books?

The primary difference is in the binding and cover material. Paperbacks feature a soft paper or cardboard cover with flexible glue binding, whereas hardcovers have a rigid cardboard cover, often wrapped in paper, cloth, or fabric, and are bound with adhesive case wrapping, making them more durable but less portable than paperbacks.

What is the difference between paperback and original editions?

In publishing, “original” usually denotes the initial format in which a book is released. A paperback can be the original if it’s the first edition published, or it can be a later, more portable, and affordable version if the original was a hardcover.
