Guili posted under Turn the Page about a local to her author who had a first book out ... "Jury of One", set at the beach, fortune tellers, murder ... sounded great to me!

You can get it over on amazon for $11.53.

That does sound a bit high.
That does seem high.

Yup, this is right. Bigger and sturdier than the smaller 'pocket novel' type paperbacks, but not hardbound. It is a way of charging more for a 'paperback'. I agree that that is expensive, but I've been paying that for books that I really want. I find them used or at Costco or Amazon for a lot left. I will often buy the hardbound on sale if it's not a lot more and I know I'll be wanting to keep the book in my library. Lots of books I just read and pass along, but some I really want to keep and I buy the better books for that purpose.
