I do that too! I have several empty covers lying around. (What did I do with the books?!)
A long time ago I got a huge roll of clear plastic just like the libraries use. I've wrapped most of my hard back jackets with it. But it makes them slippery and I won't glue the jacket on like they do at libraries.
> My books still look like new once I've read them.
A roommate I had one summer sincerely called me a liar because I said I'd read a book on my shelf. "No you didn't. That book has never been opened." He's now a lawyer.
