Not all paperback books are strippable. No hardcovers are. Trade paperbacks are called that because they aren't strippable. The publisher expects the complete book to be returned in sellable condition to give a return credit. Now, small publishers often can't enforce that sellable condition clause. Mass market paperbacks are called mass market because of the distribution mechanism. The distributers are the ones that insist the books be strippable. It's not the publisher that wants it that way.
