Though it seems inconceivable, the end of mass market paperbacks is upon us!
I remember buying a mass market copy of “The Godfather” at the local drugstore during my high school days. It was really thick — toted it around for days while I read it.
But fear not, I’m sure the Friends bookstore will have a steady supply of gently used mass markets for years to come — at the incredibly low price of 50 cents each!

The mass market paperback, light in the hand and on the wallet, once filled airport bookstores and supermarket media aisles. You may never buy a new one again.
