Mass Market Paperback

Famous quotes containing the words mass, market and/or paperback:

    “While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily
    thickening to empire,
    And protest, only a bubble in the molten mass, pops and sighs out,
    and the mass hardens,”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    “I’ve come to think of Europe as a hardcover book, America as the paperback version.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
