I love that you took the time (lots of it?!) to write this guide to paperbacks! Perhaps now I'll have to explain to one fewer person why they have to wait a year to get a paperback edition of that new novel, or what we mean when we say "mass market." Enjoy the paperback tour!
Funding Bezos' penis rockets... well, when you put it that way! I'll admit I have a bad Amazon habit but that phrasing might be enough to change my ways.
Another fantastic Submakk, Rebecca! Especially the detail about your golden retriever and Fabio.😂 Looking forward to your talk in Montclair this Thursday!!!
I brought my indie-published book to be read by my local indie-bookstore -- getting considered for shelf space turned out to be pretty complicated. While I was there, I started to browse, and suddenly discovered exactly where my book would go. It was ALL I could do to not insert in on the shelf.
But then, I figured, anyone who wanted it would have an embarrassing moment with the clerk when the computer did not have a bar code to scan and probably would not just walk out with it, so what's the point? But contemplating it did give me a thrill, for a minute my heart pounded at this possible act of subversion.
Iconic ranking of "Best ways to order".

This is great, Rebecca!! Loved Fabio, the indie secret about Paperback Writer, and --always-- any dig about the flying penis and book banners.
Target is also my spiritual home. Loved this, thank you!

Thank you for the list. Mnemonics like these make my life easier. "Actively talking people out of buying the book" is so time-consuming!!

Sadly, "Grandma Called It Carnal" isn't available on gutenberg.org, so we may never know

I wonder if it would work in a regular library.
