Does anyone else remove dust jackets with Bush's picture?
Most of the anti-Bush books have his picture on the dust jacket. Some are dorky like the one on "Bushwacked," but I still always take the cover off. I can't stand to look at his face. Does anyone else do this?

3. What a great idea!
I think I will try that. It sounds very therapeutic.

2. Yes
Last summer my dad was reading Bush at War book while we were visiting my grandparents. My grandmother and I made him take the cover off so we wouldn't have to see Bush's face.

5. Yes
and I do it at the bookstore. I also try to hide any book that is pro * if I can, although I am very discreet.

8. Most libraries cello jacket the books; how do you manage? I'm sorry, that'
just asinine, people. I've been in the book biz for 10 years (now I'm a librarian).

How childish can you get?

7. The retailers just get extra dustjackets from the publishers, in
fact, it's become common enough that extra jackets are often shipped with the books. I worked at B&N for several years--I hate when people do stuff like this.

9. I do think that defacing book jackets should be
limited to ones that you own.
