High school or college?

Yes. But some books are *only* available in hardcover, with no
paperback reprinting planned. I've got one of those on my nightstand at
the moment. At the rate things are going, I figure to have it finished
no later than Thanksgiving, and then I'll put it away and get a
paperback for the nightstand.
My husband feels strongly enough about it that he will not buy anything
that he might want to use for bedtime reading in hardcover. (Guess he's
not going to be reading any of the "Lost Lansdale" series in bed....
Then again, that's not his thing anyway.)
