paperback edition
Flexible-cover book version
A paperback edition is a version of a book published with flexible paper covers rather than rigid boards.
Publishers typically release paperback editions after hardcover sales have peaked, offering the same content at a lower price: The paperback edition comes out next spring.
Mass-market paperbacks are smaller and cheaper than trade paperbacks.
