Re: Trade books

[Ken Umbach <kumbach@UNLIMITED.NET>]

Hi ...

"Trade books are so called because they are distributed principally through
retail trade bookstores and libraries, as distinguished from books sold
through subscription series, and other means of reaching consumers directly.
Trade books include novels, nonfiction, and children's books."  (Kirk
Polking, ed., _Writer's_Encyclopedia_," 1983.)
