Musing Mondays2 Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about dust jackets.
Do you prefer books with a dust jacket? What do you do with your dust jacket while reading? Leave it on or take it off? (Question courtesy of Kim from Page after Page)
Um, I guess I’m on the “maybe” about dust jackets. On the one hand, I get annoyed whenever you’re holding the book and the book is sliding on and off from the dust jacket. On the other hand, the dust jacket serves as sort of a first hand protection to the hardcover so the book would last longer. So I guess it doesn’t really matter to me whether the books have dust jackets or not; I also don’t own a lot of books that are in the hardcover format so it’s not really a major issue with me. I do take them off when I’m reading the book though (again, because I get annoyed whenever the book slides out from the dust jacket). xD

I have a lot of hardcovers. I simply take the dust jacket off.

I collect dust jackets!
Here is my answer.
Hardcovers are heavy though, especially when reading in bed.

On a coincidental note, my Dad just reminded me of two tips concerning dust jackets, one obvious, the other quite handy.
