A trade paperback (TPB, sometimes referred to as a trade paper edition) is a paperback book that is the same size as the hardcover edition. That is, the text pages are identical to the text pages in the hardcover edition, and the only difference is the binding. Trade paperbacks are typically priced less then hardcover books. And virtually all "Advance Readers Copies" are issued in trade paperback format. In the genre of comic books, trade paperbacks are sometimes used to reprint several issues of a comic series in one volume, usually an important storyline or the entire series itself. Graphic novels are also sometimes found in trade paperback form.
