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?

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.

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.

just asinine, people. I've been in the book biz for 10 years (now I'm a librarian).
How childish can you get?

|
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.
