I just read "Against Medical Advice" by James Patterson. It was a library book so no posting to send on to the wishers (6), but I noticed in a search that there is no PB version. My search gave only a HB and a large print HB as options, though it was published in 2008.

Is this a glitch or are some popular books never being published as PB?

hmmm, I did the seach multiple times with all bindings checked and it only showed 2 entries, HB and large print HB. Must be another glitch in the search engine.

Did you possibly have your search set to Wish Listed?. It came up the first time I searched. It is even linked off of the other editions.
