The Grand Illusion
You said earlier that it was unlikely that your books would come as Mass Market paperbacks. Is that confirmed? or worth waiting? I have all yours as Mass Market and prefer same size.
Unfortunately, the economics of publishing mass market paperbacks have become so unfavorable that most publishers are unwilling to print books in that format and are instead publishing in the trade paperback format [the same size as hardcovers but all paper]. My publisher is no different, and I’m been told that future editions of my work in “paper” format will only be hardcover and trade paperback.
It’s a pity that market has gone, but I suppose that nowadays, people like me who read while commuting in their twenties would use a Kindle or ebook. I always had a book in my jacket pocket. I suppose that fewer people wear jackets as a matter of course now as well.
