Paperback Book Mockup – The Complete Collection

A neatly organized workspace with a paperback book mockup titled "the fake book" by "some author," a pair of black glasses, and a green potted plant on a wooden surface.

You’ve probably encountered a paperback book at your local bookstore and admired its quality. Publishers choose paperback books as a cheaper alternative to heavy, hardback books. Because it’s by far lighter and easier to produce, they’re usually used for mass-production, targeting a wider audience. They’re also a favorite to new writers and self-publishers since they can still look aesthetic despite being inexpensive. These reasons are why paperback book mockup is also incredibly popular for many print-on-demand services and publishing companies.

Here at Book Mockups, we have a collection of creative-looking paperback book mockups which you can use to bring out the beauty of your cover design.
