Remove before reading for easiness of handling, put them back before shelving the book

Trash them. They look horrible on the shelf and are a pain in the ass to read with.

>> No.20435291

Take them off and throw them away, what else?

It depends. I'll sometimes take them off for reading as they can be annoying to deal with depending how you're sitting. They always go back on before storage. If you've ever seen how dirty or faded books can get over the years, then you know what they're for. They're there to protect your books. Often times the spines of books will get really gross over decades of dust and sunlight hitting them.

Eat them as I read so as to track progress.

Do you read that slow and read a book so much, or do you just store them in sunlight?

>> No.20437113

>>20435505
Unless you replace the covers (you don't), you have not stopped any dust, sun damage or grossness, you have just moved it to the cover. Which you never get rid of. You're the same kind of retard who leaves the protective plastic film on things forever.

What about belly bands on top of the dust covers on top of the book covers? The Japs seem to use them a lot for some reason.

>> No.20440918

>>20431637
Throw them away, they are literally useless, as books primarily accumulate dust on the top edge of the pages, since this is the largest upward facing surface area, rendering the dust jackets pointless unless you're a library of some sort that needs to protect all of their books from piss and shit.

>> No.20440926

>>20440918
The only reason to keep is if the dust jacket is literally more aesthetic, this is often the case due to clashing colors on the spine or some such annoyance.
