Paperback PaperbackPaperback, softback, or softcover describe and refer to a book by the nature of its binding. The covers of such books are usually made of paper or cardboard, and are usually held together with glue rather than stitches or staples. UsePaperback editions of books are issued when a company decides to release a book in a low cost format.

The lack of a hard cover, stitched bindings, and frequently the use of cheaper paper, contribute to the inherent low cost of paperbacks, especially when compared to the average cost of hardcovers. 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 new editions or reprintings of older books.

Publishers must balance the larger profit to be made by selling a small number of hardcovers with a large profit per unit -- against the potentially larger profit to be made by selling a large number of paperbacks with a small profit per unit. Many modern books, especially genre fiction, are first editions in paperback. Only the best-selling books, such as 2003's The Da Vinci Code, can maintain sales in hardcover sufficiently to delay a paperback edition for longer than a year.
