It’s a coincidence that I read this article today, because I just took the jacket off a book this morning. It’s a borrowed book and I don’t want to damage the jacket which is in perfect condition.
Needless to say, I love the idea of creating book covers without jackets and instead stamping them with a graphic. I think it does a great job of both selling the book and creating a beautiful piece for your home. Really, it seems the question is, “for what purpose [is] the book designed: to be sold in a store, or to be a part of a reader’s life.”
