Actually as I understand it the covers are removed by the bookseller who sends them back to the publisher to get re-imbursed for the unsold books (I guess to save postage costs) That's why the books are supposed to be destroyed. The writer and the publisher receive no royalties for books which aren't sold and the bookseller is saying these books can't be sold. That's why you shouldn't buy a book without it's cover since effectively the writer was cheated out of money that was very hard earned. If anyone knows different please correct me.
