You've probably seen them in collections; instead of a dozen to two dozen short stories, three or four novellas by the same author in a book. Probably more commonly, they'll be used as the title and main story in a collection of short stories -- one novella and several short stories, with the book being named for the novella. _First Meetings in the Enderverse_ or some such is, I think, a collection of a few novellas into a book.

There are a lot of novellas being written now, for the 20-something market, that are also illustrated. Many of them are following a Japanese literary tradition.

If you go to the SF/Fantasy section of any used book store, many many of the books published prior to 1975 (arbitrary cutoff date) are much shorter than novel length, for which I use 60,000 words as a minimum word count.
