I quote from the 'fly' (or whatever it's called), the facing page to the first page of chapter 1.
"If you purchased this book without a cover, you should be aware that this book is stolen property."
They've been doing this for at least 20 years.
And incorrectly. Calling something stolen doesn't make it so. I could tear the cover off a book I own and then sell it to Alice. Publishers resort to FUD the same way TLAs do. Be sure to notify my local Sheriff's Office, in Santa Cruz County, that I am committing a crime. Nitwit. --Tim May -- Timothy C.
