Over here those paperbacks often come out at more or less the same time as the hardcovers and are called the export edition, or something like that. When ordering for the library I often try to limit myself to those export paperbacks. It helps with the small budget, and like you say, they seem to last better than the hardcovers.Marleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821796107712880308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-45437041099813507762009-09-23T12:10:44.627-05:002009-09-23T12:10:44.627-05:00Isn't it disheartening, Cathy, to see books fa...Isn't it disheartening, Cathy, to see books fall apart like that? Our patrons bring them back after only 1 or 2 uses, saying they didn't do anything, and they're right. They didn't do anything to harm the book.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-75193140115213658872009-09-23T11:54:30.862-05:002009-09-23T11:54:30.862-05:00One summer day here in Phoenix, I left my hardcove...One summer day here in Phoenix, I left my hardcover book in the car while I went in to work. When I came out during my lunch break, it was to the pieces of book sitting on the car seat.
