  1. Floppy useless sketchbooks. Maybe useless is harsh, but not half as useful as hardbacks. They’re so robust and sturdy and beautiful and… oh so very expensive….

  2. Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
    It took me years to write, will you take a look?
    Based on a novel by a man named Lear
    And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
    Paperback writer.

    It’s the dirty story of a dirty man
    And his clinging wife doesn’t understand.
    His son is working for the Daily Mail,
    It’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
    Paperback writer.

    Paperback writer

    It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few,
    I’ll be writing more in a week or two.
    I can make it longer if you like the style,
    I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
    Paperback writer.

    If you really like it you can have the rights,
    It could make a million for you overnight.
    If you must return it, you can send it here
    But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,
    Paperback writer.

  3. in the pocket beatles song, dog eared sooner, too heavy for its own good when it’s a long book, still smells great when new and great to acrry on a trip or when you’re lying in bed and cannot hold up a hard back, why isn’t it called a soft back after all and what about the front, paper front ot hard front

  4. A paperback novel can have its back broken: because it’s back is made of paper. So an impatient person may shove it in a box haphazardly.
    Paperback books are disposable, we find soft, floppy towers of them in charity shops for 50p and nobody ever buys them.
    Book shops, lofts, disposable.

  10. the novel was excellent. I didn’t want to put it down before I had read it through. it was about Freemasonry and the fellowship that I’d always sought for. I wished for a moment that it had been about reality. wished it was me they’d written about there. but it wasn’t. I had to go on living my dreary ordinary life as always.

  11. You were a paperback rider.
    You always got wilder and wilder.
    I remember you smiled at her.
    She was impressed with your tasty slider.
    All the times you did bide’r.

  13. My first paperback was filthy. I had to adjust to the fact that not everything I was going to love in life was going to be shiny and clean.

  14. I shuffled into the store and hoped I might find a paperback copy of As I Lay Dying, because I’d been listening to folk songs and reading romantic poetry and desperately craving the hopelessness of Southern beauty.

  15. A book that I have nourished and has filled my soul with questions, frustrations, and wonder. It is dog-eared, in my backpack, ready to be pulled out and perused again. Each line underlined, commented on and highlighted. I have filled my head with its thoughts and my thoughts with its words. It is time to give it over.

  16. paperback books are cheaper than hard back books because they don’t cost as much to buy. it is a type of cover on a book that’s made of “paper.”

  17. A fax from an iPhone. The first question I could ask would be why? But, evidently there are some people who need it.

  18. paperback books are flimsy and generally small books. When I see this word I think of the Beatles song “Paperback Writer”.

  19. PAPERBACK BOOKS ARE cheaper than hard back books, i honestly prefer them because of the lightweight and durability and ease of carrying around. Most books come in 2 versions, and paperbacks are the cheaper version.

  20. I landed upon a paperback book. The pages were yellow and crusted over. The book appeared old. “Eww,” I muttered. I took a finger and ran it across its surface. Dust was all over the book

  21. holy crap. i have no idea what to write. what is paperback? a book? but why is it called paperback? if you read the word, more and more, it loses its meaning. now i have no idea what it means. it’s just a sound.

  22. I like to read this kind of books. they are easy to carry around especially when traveling. The last paperback book i read was awesome it was about paperback books in general. the end is getting

  23. I don’t know exactly what the word mean, but I’m gonna steal this service and create it on my site)))

  24. dont wanna be a paperback. not a mass appeal kind of person. more of a gilt-edged leather-bound classic. fabulous though not frequently investigated. seen and appreciated by the select few that hv eyes to see.

  25. paperback writer. the beatles song i sometimes sing to myself. i wonder what that metaphor really means? a person who is writing quick notes on an empty space on the back of a paper, like i’m writing this note here?

  26. There’s nothing better than sitting down with an old worn paperback book. The smell of the pages and the feel of it in your hands is simply amazing. I love the way the black in stains my thumbs gray.

  27. paperbacks are deliciously manageable compared to hardbacks, they fit inside my pockets, they mould themselves, full of stories, to my body, the feel warm to the touch. they are crammed with all the goodness of a hardback but are more accessible. Clasics are easier in paperback.

  28. I’m not too particular about what type of cover book i read. While i do enjoy a hard cover book, paperback books offer a lot more portability as opposed to a bulky hard cover book and as a result, i can carry many paperback books along with me when i’m off to my college classes.

  29. Paper back writer, like a fire, the words have taken my soul back to the age of unity. Somehow I find myself ever longing a new foundation of concrete beauty. I’m always lost, and yet I shall always find my way.

  31. Left in the same old condition as it was when I found it nearly twenty years ago, this ancient paperback koran is now covered in quite a bit of dust. AS I am now much older I feel the need to brush of this dust and dig into a religion which I know so little. A little guilt resides in me know since my deceased grandfather urged me on so many occaisons to explore this very interesting book.

  34. The book was small, it’s spine bent and it’s pages tattered. It was a sad little book, time having been harsh to the little paperback book. And yet it was a good little book. It stood up admirably, and passed on it’s story well. It was read by many, and loved by all. It was a good little book despite it’s outward appearance.

  35. a novel that is easy to read. ripped covers from grandpa’s pahrmacy. Always called cheap, but usually pretty expensive. I love reading paperbacks because they fit into my back pocket. However, they are hard to keep open because the binging glue is usually too thick and the stories are too long (or the books are too big).

  36. soft, worn, holding a journey between the wrinkled covers…a journey i have taken many times. an escape with an old friend.

  39. novel is the idea that we search for, novel is the idea that we cherish, belonging to a future very unkept, unwashed-unlearned.
    We see the idea of virtue as a tedium.
