This subject reminded me of my favorite downtown bookstore when I was in high school. They had walls of shelves of paperbacks with no front covers, sold for a fraction of the cover price. It's probably illegal to sell paperbacks with no front covers now, but 50 years ago this book store did it. Without a front cover you really had to have an intriguing title for me to dig that book out of a big stack of books to see if it was something I wanted to read. Alas, that book store is long gone, but I still remember it, and their rock bottom prices, fondly.
