A mass-market paperback is a small, usually non-illustrated, inexpensive bookbinding format. This includes the UK A-format books of 110 mm Ã 178 mm (4.3 in Ã 7.0 in) and the US pocketbook format books of a similar size.
I live in Massachusetts and would say the average cost of a mass market paperback is between $6.99 and $8.99, with the slightly bigger trade paperbacks going for between $8.99 and $14.99, plus whatever state tax is applicable (Mass is 5%).
