I am book slut…I love all books. Books, books, books - don’t really care what type they are. When my husband comments, I tell him there could be far worse things to buy than books.
So no - to answer your real question, trade doesn’t put me off as a reader. Sheesh - books are expensive no matter what and they look pretty on the bookshelf too:smile:
by Steph T. February 23rd, 2005 at 5:03 amI’m with Steph, but I think I do have a tendency to go with trade.

Jaq, the plebe.
by Jaq February 23rd, 2005 at 10:26 amI’m cheap, so naturally I prefer mass market. Does this mean I won’t buy trade if it’s the only alternative? Heck, no. I won’t wait around a year for a Brava to be released in mass market format, either. But given a choice, I’d rather all books cost $5.99 or less:-).
by Ellen Fisher February 23rd, 2005 at 12:27 pmMass market, here.
I’ve been a SAHM for ten years, so 80% of my books are bought with money embezzled from the grocery budget. Others are bought during ‘family trips’ to the big bookstore or with gift cards. (I go on trade binges right after Christmas :roll:)
But it’s not only money. I have mass market-sized bookshelves. Trade is too tall.
by Shannon February 23rd, 2005 at 2:48 pmI’m hardback and mass market. I will buy trade size, don’t get me wrong. But I lean more to the HB’s and MM’s.
by Teresa February 23rd, 2005 at 5:18 pmIf it’s an author I want to read, or a book that has caught my eye, I’ll buy it in any form. I am a book slut, no doubt.
by Jill February 23rd, 2005 at 6:42 pmI prefer mass market because I can buy more books that way, but like Jill said, if it’s an author I want to read or a book that interests me, I’ll buy either form.
by Jordan February 23rd, 2005 at 7:56 pmI like trade and HC. With the discounts most stores give you, trade is almost the same price at times. Size and or carrying a bigger book around doesn’t bother me (not with my trusty bag in hand LOL)
