Well, it does say "The sale of this book without its cover is unauthorized."... Leaves place for arguing that giving them away for free is not forbidden.
Where I live, though, even trash in the bin is still the property of the person who's thrown it away until it has been collected (and then it belongs to the garbage collecting company, I believe).
So rescuing something out of the trash would be considered theft... People have been sued for stealing food out of supermarket garbage containers...
