To which I add: We compile a summer reading list for children and teens every year, and every year we want to include more poetry and are frustrated by the lack of paperback availability (the summer reading books must be in paperback.) I love Patrice Vecchione's anthologies (particularly The Body Eclectic) and have actually mentioned this to a paperback/hardcover publisher in hopes that a paperback edition will sometime appear.
