Well, I never throw them away, but if I am reading a hardcover and the jacket is annoying then I will remove it and read it without the cover. I keep the cover on while the book is on the shelf, but I would never throw them away because usually the cover is too pretty to.

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!
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

A little, true-life story:
Some years ago I gave my niece (a grown woman) a Raggedy Ann doll as a conversation piece house warming present. The doll was in mint condition as was the original corrugated box in which it was sold which was stuffed with ... are you ready for this .... STRAW. That's how old it was. It was a mint condition collector's item. To my utter horror I learned several years later that she had thrown the box and straw away thus diminishing the value of the doll by about 50%.
Now I am not naive enough to think that the average purchased book may be a first edition or a book of value but I have always considered the cover as part of the book. I have even taken the time to repair them when they begin to fall apart.
