Paperback

A paperback (also known as softback or softcover) is a type of book characterized by a thick paper or paperboard cover, and often held together with glue rather than stitches or staples. In contrast, hardcover or hardback books are bound with cardboard covered with cloth; although more expensive, hardbacks are more durable. Inexpensive books bound in paper have existed since at least the 19th century in such forms as pamphlets, yellowbacks, dime novels, and airport novels. Modern paperbacks can be differentiated by size. In the US there are "mass-market paperbacks" and larger "trade paperbacks." In the UK, there are A-format, B-format and the largest C-format sizes.

Paperback editions of books are issued when a publisher decides to release a book in a low-cost format. Cheap paper, glued bindings, and the lack of a hard cover contribute to the inherent low cost of paperbacks. Paperbacks can be the preferred medium 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. Examples include many novels, and newer editions or reprintings of older books.

Paperback

by: Envy On The Coast

I'm cynical, they say.
Petrified, maybe.
Disgusted by his ways,
And a conscious is clear and I fear it is free to betray.
Premeditated crime,
Now he plans and drinks until it's time
A crutch to use upon his prey,
She didn't know, it's not the way to love.
And I will judge a book by its cover.
Because you know it's all we, know it's all we have.
And I will judge a book by its cover.
So break my binding and tear my paper,
Just leave a page to sign your name.
It's evident today, and the evidence lays awake,
Regretting her last drink.
Drank her way to the bed and she said go ahead with a wink
Justifies his ways, and he can't look at her face.
He utters those three words,
She's oblivious, but tomorrow she will learn.
And I will judge a book by its cover.
Because you know it's all we, know it's all we have.
And I will judge a book by its cover.
So break my binding and tear my paper,
Just leave a page to sign your name.
Don't worry I can keep a secret.
Don't worry he can keep a secret.
Don't worry,
Come on now doll you know you've got a secret.
And I will judge a book by its cover.
Because you know it's all we, you know it's all we have.
And I will judge a book by its cover.
So break my binding and tear my paper,
