Although the paperbound book has been around for centuries (see limp bindings), the paperback as we know it has its start in the late 19th century. It was created as an inexpensive way to get books to the masses. The adhesive-bound form, often called “perfect bound,” was introduced shortly before World War II. This 1945 paperback features a cover graphic meant to attract the consumer’s attention.
