What determines when and if a book that is first published in hardback appears in paperback?

Similar questions: determines book published hardback appears paperback.

This will depend on the publisher and how well sales are doing I've searched and I can't find any definitive answer to your question, but from what I've dug up publishers tend to feel that a book has peaked after about 9 months in hardcover, so that's when the paperback version starts gearing up. Strong sales may delay the release of the paperback version, but the preparation for printing starts at about the same time regardless. Here are some comments on the subject I was able to find:Having worked in a store that sold books, usually the rule of thumb was a book would go to paperback approximately a year from the release of the hardcover.So if you check around the 9 month mark or so, you can probably get an idea of when a release date is for a paperback.

Depends on the book though - I suspect that sometimes paperback releases are delayed if the hardcover is still selling well, while other books are released in PB after only nine months. And sometimes there is no telling when the pb will be released. Publishers release exclusive paperback editions to non-English markets way ahead of the official pb release.

So they won't be available in the UK or US, but will be released wherever there is a demand for books in English, like in The Netherlands. Depending on where you live, this might be a cheaper mid-priced option, even including the shipping charges, if you can't wait. Sources: ask.metafilter.com/mefi/53746 .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
