I'm extremely dubious of this claim. Decades, I could start to believe. *Months*? I've never had a paperback be unusable within a decade. Do you have any citations or data for trade paperbacks wearing out in months?
It's just *so* incongruous with my personal experience of even the cheapest paperback I've ever bought.
- falcolas 4y ago> citations My own experience - having a brand new paperback litter pages on my first read. Or buying a book only to find that the last signature was a duplicate of the one prior to it. I've also had a manga spine break on a second reading, literally dropping a whole section of pages on my lap.
