My understanding of the phrase (I can be corrected if someone has more official information) "the book can't be resold without the original cover" is that this is for paper back books. If they are not sold at the store they are shipped to, the cover is to be removed and returned, and the remainder of the book is to be destroyed. This saves on shipping charges of sending them back to the distributor. I also know that books without covers are sometimes donated to friends or charities, as I have seen them in circulation of readers, but the process of removing the cover is to take them out of circulation.
Just my 2 cents worth, Lorri I have just looked in three totally different lace books I have readily to hand and none of them have that statement. I then looked at a couple of recentish novels nearby (because I was sure I had seen some sort of statement somewhere) and they both have wording to the effect that the book can't be resold without the original cover and without a similar copyright statement. This makes sense where not being able to sell them at all doesn't to me - and how would I get those great old novels, children's books, etc that I love so much? :-) My tuppence worth ...
