Paperback: History, Major publishers & Types

A paperback (softcover, softback) book is one with a thick paper or paperboard cover, also known as wrappers, and often held together with glue rather than stitches or staples. In contrast, hardback (hardcover) books are bound with board covered with cloth, leather, paper, or plastic.
