Yes.
As Harry pointed out to me, in some cases a cover is really needed. To my way of thinking that is quite different from getting upset over poor typography. If I have to experience a ration of wrath I prefer it to be over the lack of world peace or the homeless problem in California.

You pick up your new book and walk to the counter and pay for it. When you get home, you realize they removed the dust jacket and kept it before putting it in the bag. Should you then say "I never look at the dust jacket so who cares that they didn't include that?"

Absolutely not!!! You should simply pay it no mind at all. It's not worth the time or effort to get upset over something so trivial.
When I buy a book, I'm buying what the author says. That being said, when I purchase a painting, if I got home and found the canvas bare I'd most likely take it back to the store and ask for the paint.
