Librarian survey-HELP PLEASE!

Posted by Kathy Stemke on November 5, 2008 at 4:09am
Ladies, I'm in the process of getting two books published that I feel will be extremely valuable in the library and the classroom. Because of the high cost of printing my small publisher wants to know if teachers and librarians will buy a paperback version of the book. Does it matter to you if a book is hardback or paperback?? Will a paperback be prohibitive??? I'd really appreciate your help on this. If it is a factor I may want to take my second book to a larger publishing company. I need to make a decision. HELP!! Thanks, Kathy Stemke To get a blurb about the book go to: http://educationtip ster.blogspot. com/ Titles: Trouble on Earth Day Sh, sh, sh Shall the Baby Sleep?

    I don't mind a paperback, but it does depend on the topic and reading level.
    For anon-fiction Earth Day book, I might choose a hard cover over paperback, but for a story It wouldn't matter.

    For our professional collection, we usually purchase a paperback edition over a hardback. We know that we take care of books unlike our students. Good luck!

    I agree -- Paperback is fine

    Buying a book in paperback is no barrier for me. It makes it less expensive to purchase!
