One thing I've noticed while browsing bookstores is that hardcover books tend to cost more than softcover ones. Oftentimes a hardcover book that's five times the price of a paperback doesn't have five times the mass of one. Is it the manufacturing technique that creates this price difference? Why do hardcover books retail for multiple times the amount of softcover books?
