How does that work, and what was the reason for changing to a bigger size while still charging basically the same? Even if there is a price rise, it is usually from something like £6.99 to £7-£8.99, which is not that much more, and as I said, the MMPB often cost this in the first place.

The bigger books the shops have to order and pay for. For MMPB's they can tear away the cover and return that only for the books they do nto sell. And they only pay for the books they sell. So of course publisher want to sell bigger books.
