E-readers and tablets let you carry a lot of reading material in a small convenient package. But for everyone who still enjoys the feel and smell of a real book, July 30th is your holiday. It’s National Paperback Book Day! Who knew? We didn’t. Paperback books deserve their own day because they revolutionized reading when they were introduced … much like the e-reader has done more recently. Paperbacks are easier to carry and more affordable than their hardback versions. July 30 is the anniversary of the day the first Penguin paperbacks were published in 1935 in England. Paperbacks are perfect for packing in your suitcase to go on vacation or for lounging in an easy chair. Celebrate Paperback Book Day by visiting a bookstore or the library. We have hundreds of paperbacks to choose from! [Read more...]
