There are also multiple UK editions, which use similar sizing terminology as the US but whose sizes are actually very different! I know, confusing right?! They even have different color spines! There are US trade paperback size (larger format), US mass market size (smaller format), and Canadian paperback size (which are larger than both US editions). My Canadian editions, UK editions, and US editions are all slightly different from one another. If you’re purchasing them through online discount retailers (ie: Amazon or Book Depository), then you might unknowingly be purchasing editions that have been printed by different publishers in different countries. The answer to this question will depend on where you’re purchasing your books! If you’re buying your books through your local independent bookseller, then your books are probably all the same size with lovely matching covers and spines.
