July 30 is Paperback Book Day, as it's believed to be on this day in 1935 when Penguin Books UK first widely released the format. This article from Smithsonian Magazine https://lnkd.in/exnfADPm provides a thorough history about paperbacks. For those who like an analog way of reading, they travel well and can be easily shared with someone else to enjoy when we're finished with them. Let us know in the comments what paperback you're reading now! #OnThisDay #PaperbackBookDay #PaperbackBooks #BookPublishing #CurrentlyReading
