Today’s MUSING MONDAYS: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)
Most of the hard cover books I read are from the library and they add a clear laminate over the cover and attach it so it can't be removed. So I have not choice to read the book with the dust jacket on. The way it is attached does not hinder in holding it while reading.
With books that I own, I will take the dust jacket off while reading if it keeps slipping around and/or makes the book hard to hold. If it is a tight fit, I will leave it on.

I take my dust jackets off too. So, they don't spoil. :)
Here is mine!

I also agree with your thoughts. Mine can be found here.
I like the library covers, but my own become book marks. Have a great Monday.
I am all for the jackets. I take them off usually while reading and then put them back on.
I buy some used books, library discards, with the plastic over the dust cover. I take the plastic off..
It doesn't matter to me, as long as the book is good on the inside. I tend to take them off while reading though. Here's Mine.
My answer was different when I wrote the post. I had no clue what people were referring to as the dust cover. For me it's just a cover for a hard book.

I am the exact same way :)
I'm fairly indifferent about them and probably don't treat dust jackets with the respect they deserve. :)
I agree completely!!
I can't stand dust jackets actually!!! I wish they were all like the library books or just didn't have them.
I take them off the ones that I own!

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