daijs: 全集・叢書などの中の一冊としてでなく、単独に出版される本。
  Comments:
I think it is two senses. Manga 単行本 are obviously part of a series, which contradicts the kokugo definitions.

Alan> "The manga usage of 単行本 is definitely the most common nowadays and should be a separate sense from the definition given in the kokugos IMO."
I don't think this is true, see Google Image results.
I'm also not seeing the point in splitting out the manga use at all. Koj, Daijr/s, which Alan referenced, don't.

"trade paperback" has a different meaning in non-comic contexts.
