The paperback is $9.70 at Amazon. Also, that is still too high.
The problem with paperbacks is that the publishers have changed the paperback to be this rather odd and harder to read version that's now taller and thinner and doesn't fit on the book shelf. They did this so they could raise the price. The excuse that it's easier to read is pure BS. The mass market paperback (MMPB) was a much better form. It isn't as tall, it's easier to hold, and it fits on the bookshelf. Greedy publishers have changed things and not for the better.
