Paperback books otherwise known as perfect bound books are when the pages are held together using a strong adhesive along the spine and cover. The glue tends to be a thermal glue allowing strong, secure bind while also being flexible enough to move the pages adequately. 

The strong glue provides a long and lasting bind to give your books a long lifespan on the shelf or on your travels. This is the most common binding type found and is what makes up the majority of books in any given bookshop!
