I've just noticed that we have a new definition of what a mass market paperback is. Penguin feels the MMPB can also include those abominations that are taller and thinner then a proper MMPB. Penguin also feels that $9.99 is OK for a MMPB. That's absurd. That is NOT a MMPB. I'm not sure what to call it other then an abomination. It feels off in my hands and it doesn't fit in a lot of bookcases.
