TECHNICALLY, stone is right, but often times the clerks don't know or care the difference. Ask your local clerks and then do what they say, you COULD save a bundle.

Your local clerk may not care, but your customer WILL care if they get charged a higher rate in the form of postage due if your package gets inspected. Book rate is the way to go. The main difference between media mail and book rate is that if the package is undeliverable, it will be returned to you (postage due though) if it is media mail. It gets dumped if it is book rate.

BTW: has anybody ever met anybody who ever actually ever read GRIT ???
My favorite was for the X-Ray Glasses which allowed you to see right through...

If you mean the old farm type paper my grandparents read it from the 1940's through the 1960's. I did not know it was still around! Grandma would try the recipes and order crochet and sewing patterns.

The correct terminology is "bound printed matter," not book rate. I know about that. I never send by BPM because it is not returned if undeliverable. I would be way in the red over the years with BPM based on the number of bad addresses that buyers have given me.
