trade paperback

I unfortunately no longer have that shabby trade paperback copy with the medicine cabinet on its cover, but it has been replaced by a first edition hardcover.

What neither of us imagined was that the glossy trade paperback with its attractively minimalist black-and-white cover would act as the catalyst for my entire professional life.
