Books are divided into hardcover and paperback. Hardcover is for collection. It is more exquisite in style and may be given away at random. Paperback books are not. The books we usually buy in bookstores are paperbacks, and the prices of luxury books and paperbacks are quite different. If it is not for collection, we suggest buying ordinary paperbacks.

Hardcover is usually used for books with more pages, frequent use, long-term preservation, aesthetic requirements and more important books. There are three forms of hardcover: (1) round back hardcover, (2) square back hardcover (or flat back hardcover) and (3) soft face hardcover.
