On an slightly related note, some books also look beautiful without their dust jackets. I have a couple books that have hidden embossing on the actual cover and those are fun to discover.

But I just place them neatly by the side. I would never throw them away.

I honestly never even considered throwing it away! Usually I just end up keeping it on while I read. The book seems naked without itGravy wrote: ↑23 Jan 2016, 02:47You can count me as the third!DATo wrote:Me too ! *LOL*PaulaSofia wrote:I think my heart stopped for the briefest moment when I read you throw them away!
I usually take them off if their loose while reading the book, then put it back on when done
I take it off to actively read, mainly so I don't tear it, but it gets put somewhere safe and is back on the book when I'm done!
One feels like a duck, splashing around in all this wet. And when one feels like a duck, one is happy!

This is exactly what I do! I find they make great bookmarks!Eclecticmama wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 14:12 No I try to keep them on, and use the flaps as bookmarks. But I also have a toddler, and she loves to take my book jackets off and leave them all over the house. Like an animal.

I usually remove it while reading, as it is not very practical. After finishing, I put the book jacket back on the book, before placing it in the bookshelf. It is good for protecting the bookJolyon Trevelyan wrote: ↑22 Jan 2016, 15:38 On Hardcover books there is always ( at least very often ) a book jacket or cover what ever you call it. So i wonder do you remove this and throw it away or do you keep it on the book ?
Personally i remove it and throw it away.
