I'm not sure how heavy the paperback is, but it can't weigh much less than the hardcover which is over one pound and therefore would have to be shipped at the 2 pound rate ($8.09 for parcel post - ground service - from California to Illinois, not including "handling") unless packed in a flat rate priority mail box (it might fit in a small one, which would make shipping - without handling - $4.85 or $4.95).
Since it's a book, it should also qualify for Media Mail, a.k.a. "the slowest boat to China", which can take upwards of three weeks (domestically), but would only cost Telltale $2.77 (I used to work at a mailing center, where people were always looking for the cheapest way to mail their packages and while Media Mail always looked attractive on paper, they often regretted not paying the extra few dollars for Priority Mail...).
