What does paperback mean for books?

A paperback, also known as a softcover book, is a printed book that is bound together with glue and a cover made from flexible cardboard. There is no dust cover included on a paperback.

Why are hardcover books so expensive?

Supply and demand mostly. The quality of the book is generally lower for paperbacks. The quantity printed may be fewer for hardcovers, so the manufacturing cost is higher per book.

How much does an average book cost?

The average retail cost of a paperback book with about 200 pages ranges from R162.57to R309.02.

It’s important to recognize that this price range includes traditionally published and self-published books and holds true for fiction and non-fiction titles.
