Episode #7: Size (and Format) Matters

In this episode of Booklist's Shelf Care: The Podcast, host Susan Maguire sits down with librarian extraordinaire Robin Bradford to discuss the hottest topic in all of Libraryland: are trade paperbacks better than mass market paperbacks? They get into patron behavior, format preferences, and, inevitably, romance novels. Then Audio Editor Heather Booth provides a glimpse at the audio award-winners announced at ALA Midwinter in January, and Susan and Adult Books Editor Donna Seaman break down the winners Carnegie Awards for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction.
