All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?

    Depends on far more factors than price and storage space. PB are easier to carry around, esp when travelling. HC are longer lasting. If I expect a book to get read more than a couple of times, I’m likely to buy the HC. Might also buy a PB so that I have a lighter version or for lending. Also, this NOT being a perfect world, I often buy the HC since I don’t want to wait until the PB version is published!

  29. Trade-sized paperbacks. ~ They’re the perfect size ~ The type is not too small nor too large; the dimensions of the book make it easy to carry in a purse, backpack, briefcase, etc. without taking up too much space. They’re always my first choice when buying books.
