Paperback Format

Paperbacks are softcover books published by Veritas Ink & Press. An industry name for a book with higher production quality than a mass-market paperback is “trade paperback.” The size and pricing of trade paperbacks are also larger than those of mass-market paperbacks. Mass-market paperback novels are typically created inexpensively and printed on newsprint or other inferior paper, which with time will turn discolored and crumble. Trade paperbacks, on the other hand, adhere to higher standards and use superior material for printing.
