Sometimes,you'd just rather have a portable paperback-but if it's a new book you're after,you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form.Why are books released as hardcovers first? Not so long ago,hardcover books were the only type of books.Before the appearance of mass production,print runs were limited,and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s,that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which agreed with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War lI. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce,which still holds true today. Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks,there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted(特续存在).Because of its history,it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性)in the book world than the paperback does..“The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,"Philip Jones, editor at The Bookseller,explains to The Guardian. But the major reason why books come out as hardcovers is that people buy them,despite their higher cost.The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD."Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardcover's superior quality,"according to The Economist.And because they're profitable,publishers can gain more from hardcovers,which "will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent(对应物but do not cost twice as much to produce,.” Jones explains. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。精装书虽然价格昂贵，但是它体现了产品的高质量， 加上利润较高，所以始终有一定的市场。 1.What can we learn about har
