> trade-bound paperbacks which tend to fall apart after (sometimes during, grrr) a single read I'm sorry for probabbly a stupid question, but what is "trade-bound paperbacks"? I have tried to google it but I can't figure out which binding method is meant here..? Cheap glued paperback books? Sewn books? Something else? :/

Effectively hot glue bound paperbacks filled with low quality, poorly printed pages. EDIT: I have probably confused Mass Market paperbacks with Trade paperbacks. The former is the main target of my ire, the latter is purportedly of higher quality in general.
