Not too sure about that. I'd agree in the case of soft covers and cheap Harlequins, but most hardcovers I have are quite expensive, the paper they're made of doesn't look cheap, and the off-white background color seems very even and doesn't yellow with age as cheap books do. I mean, for the price these books are sold for, surely if they wanted them whiter, they could have afforded an extra bucket of chlorine in the pulp vat.
