I prefer trade paperbacks, though. Much better paper than hardcovers and is usually acid-free, better binding than pocketbooks. They last FOREVER. They also usually cost almost as much as the hardcover.

And I hate pocketbooks (mass market paperbacks).

TPB's are the apex of modern bookbinding.

It holds more because it's sides are stretchy.

120 divided by 8 semesters is 15 credits a semester.

When you're taking five classes and have 100 pages to research and write for each, any heavier and you can't finish your work.
