>this edition's pages aren't even thread binded, they're binded with what appears to be a piece of paper
>I can print a return slip for free and return it for a full refund, but all this fucking effort for nothing

Dust covers are for Barnes and Noble displays and spergs, not actual readers. Unless it's like a first edition first printing signed copy by hemingway that will go for thousands, why do you care if your nice hardcover has a paper cover that makes the book look like cheap crap?

Indeed, this man is right. I personally never could throw my dustjackets away, since that feels rather stupid as well, but they're useless.

Because I care about not getting ripped off, and I like having a nice product if I pay the money for it.
