[...] sí hay algunas características definitorias del libro de bolsillo y las más sobresalientes son su reducido tamaño [...], su precio económico y su voluntad nómada. A éstas se añaden otras, como la ligereza de su encuadernación --generalmente con tapa de materiales blandos--, el encolado, la escasez de lujos en su edición, su presencia en puntos de venta alos que no suelen llegar otro tipo de ediciones, o la comodidad de transporte [...] Es, además, un libro multitemático, en el que tienen cabida tanto grandes clásicos de la literatura universal como títulos contemporáneos, con tiradas mediassuperiores a las de la edición tradicional de cara a su distribución masiva; y, finalmente, es un formato que permite alargar la vida del libro, al admitir segundas explotaciones de un título. 1, record 1, Spanish, - libro%20de%20bolsillo
