While opening a new book I ordered today (Frank Miller Daredevil Companion Omni), I realized I liked it on my shelf better without the dust jacket on and that got me thinking. I've never really liked dust jackets anyway, so I removed all the dust jackets from all my hard covers, Premiere Editions, OHC, Omnis and even the Absolutes that had them. It was quite interesting.......some were pretty plain (a couple Marvel Ultimate Omnis), the Marvel Premiere Editions are flat black with metallic blue lettering that looks really nice, some replicate the dust jacket but without the gloss (Daredevil Omnis....Bendis Crime Noir Omni), the Colossal Conans look great with the larger writing, and The Vision and Planetary Omni have plain dust jackets hiding beautiful covers.
I think it looks better and my books feel just a little more accessible now. I don't know......maybe it's just me.
