Can someone please tell me the difference between a chap book, mass market, trade and trade paperback? ![]() And if yer feelin' froggy lay 'em next to one another and take a photo. Please. |

I'm not exactly sure myself. I get the impression that it is a shorter book with illustrations throughout. The one listsed for sale at the Flesh and Blood site all sound like they are about 24 pages long. Here is a link to that if it helps. . |

A chapbook can be a single short story or a few stories or a novelette. Basically, it's shorter than a novella or a collection. It can include illustrations, but that's not a requirement. |
