Alright first question:
Paperbacks or hardcovers?

Interesting question, I would have to say both. The type of books that I usually don't prefer are the ones with really little letters and the color of the pages are like newspaper.

And you??

Paperbacks - especially those of the 'Mass Market' variety. (Penguin paperbacks are among my favorites because of their cover art and the soft, pliable texture of the spine and pages.)

Hardcovers - because I prefer old books (The oldest I own was printed in 1904!) and paperbacks didn't exist back then.

In spanish we call it "papel periodico" :)

We call the hardcover "pasta dura".

I am looking for other illustrated books on (public or private) libraries. Any suggestions?

Cheers

An illustrated book that I read this year and that I also liked, is Who Moved My Cheese? For Kids. The message of the book is very interesting.

Hopefully you'll enjoy it too.

Greetings :)
