The book stores that don't sell them send them back and at the same time, everyone who walked past that store knew that the book was out and would buy it in the way most convenient to them (or tell friends they knew were interested, etc.).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Yeah, I take them off when I read them, but I don't like losing them. That happened to the WH cover *NM*

So put the dustcover on top of the books on the shelf from which you take the book.
