Trade paperbacks are a popular format for books, especially for fiction and non-fiction works. They are typically larger than mass-market paperbacks and feature a heavier weight paper. Some synonyms for trade paperbacks include trade editions, trade books, and trade publications. These terms all refer to books that are designed for sale in traditional bookstores and libraries. The term "trade edition" is often used to distinguish between books that are intended for the general public versus those that are designed for academic or special-interest audiences. Regardless of the term used, trade paperbacks provide readers with high-quality book formats that are durable and easy to transport.
