She/Her Seattle, WA ๐Ÿ“š I love reading. Science fiction is my favorite, but Iโ€™ll read just about anything that sparks curiosity or expands my brain. My TBR could qualify as a fire hazard๐Ÿ”ฅ and yet, Iโ€™m always happy to add more books. Send recs! ๐Ÿ“š

Holy shit. This is extremely relevant -- like, it's eerie how relevant -- to a story called "Lily the Immortal" by Kyile Lee Baker, that I narrated for It's Storytime last week.

The mass market paperback is vanishing The mass market paperback โ€” born in 1935, boomed after WWII โ€” is vanishing from airports, drugstores, and groceries.

For those of you who were keeping up with the mass market mess, here is a more informative article.

Trade paperbacks cost only 30c more to make and are priced $18-20 now, where mass market paperbacks didn't sell at $12. So... there's your answer. It's about margins.
