When they’re on my shelf, yes. When I’m reading them, I take the dust jacket off so I don’t mess it up
Yes, but sometimes if it’s my ‘train reading’ book for that week, I’ll take the jacket off because it gets in the way.
I buy hardcovers of Sherrilyn Kenyon only and don’t read them because Sherri signs all of them for me.
I do have hardcovers of the Harry Potter series but I read them and I took the dust jacket off to do so.
Not while I read the books cause I don’t want them to get ruined.
But then do you put it back on afterwards?
@Eliana oh of course!
I do—unless I think it’s ugly—but I’m trying to remember not to because it messes them up
Yes, I am VERY careful as I read the book.
Yes!
Yes! Except for when I read them, then i take the dust jacket off
Nope. hate the things
I take them off while I read, but always keep them on when the books are shelved.
I take them off to read, then put them back on.
I keep them except while i’m reading them
I do. If I am reading them I take them off.

Not familiar with this. How about a pic? I might want to try it.

I try, but in the course of moving they usually get mangled.

Yes except for my defaced books.
Yes, I never read my hardcover books. I buy them in either kindle or audio and sometimes both.
So you buy hardcovers just to look at them?
I buy hardcovers of Sherrilyn Kenyon only and don’t read them because Sherri signs all of them for me.
I do have hardcovers of the Harry Potter series but I read them and I took the dust jacket off to do so.
I take them to the book so they won’t come off
Yes! They are little works of art and I loves them.
I bought clear plastic covers to preserve the dust jackets on the books I keep.
While on display but not when I’m reading them because I don’t want to tear them.
Yes, but I always put plastic protectors on them, too.
Yes I keep them on and cover them with plastic
