I just keep my dust jackets to keep the dust away.

You just made me realize something: dust jackets keep dust off every part of the book EXCEPT where dust actually even accumulates, which is on the top of the pages, while it's on a shelf.

dust jackets are very necessary when you have more porous/textured covers like older books tended to and also when you have those terrible-quality plasticky hardcovers that will fuse with other books over time.
