That's reaching back to the Old World way of adding books to one's library. In France at any rate books were sold as paperbound editions, with a generic cover. If you liked the book after reading, you took it to a bookbinder and had it bound in leather to match the other keepers in your library. Otherwise you sold it to one of those stalls along the Seine.
