For me, the main take away was the brand name ("Pocket"); in Swedish paperback books are still called "pocket" books, and that provides a pretty solid idea about where that name came from. To clarify, the word "paperback book" in Swedish is "pocketbok", where "bok" is Swedish for "book". It's notably not a translation of the original English, it's literally used in the original form. This seems to be called a "pseudo-anglicism" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-anglicism#Swedish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-anglicism#Swedish for a list of Swedish's pseudo-anglicisms).
