how big is a mass market paperback book
Paperback A mass-market paperback is a small, usually non-illustrated, inexpensive bookbinding format. This includes the U.K. A-format books of 110 mm × 178 mm (4.3 in × 7.0 in)[2] and the U.S. "pocketbook" format books of a similar size. These are generally printed on low quality paper, which discolors and disintegrates over a period of decades.[citation needed] They are commonly released after the hardback edition and often sold in non-traditional bookselling locations such as airports, drugstores, and supermarkets, as well as in traditional bookstores.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Published in 1997, this 832-page leatherbound final omnibus edition contains five Hitchhiker series novels and one short story:
Edition (book) A "first edition" per se is not a valuable collectible book. A popular work may be published and reprinted over time by many publishers, and in a variety of formats. There will be a first edition of each, which the publisher may cite on the copyright page, such as: "First mass market paperback edition". The first edition of a facsimile reprint is the reprint publisher's first edition, but not the first edition of the work itself.
