    I actually prefer "softcover" books. Both for collecting and reading (always take them off and put them on a shelf while reading).
    I love the Dust Jackets, that is why I take the DJ off while reading because I usually destroy it if I have it with me. I love the look of hard cover books but I have been buying SC lately just so I can read. After holding IT in one hand while balancing on the moving train my wrist can't handle the weight of HCs on travel.
    If you search the internet you can find some suitable material to exercise and build up those wrist muscles...

And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Welcome to the site!

    It would be worth you stating your price range and the condition you are looking for. This has become a rare item and owing to the value a Fine/NF jacket adds to a book it has increased in value as a stand alone item. There are members here with unfolded jackets they may be willing to sell, but expect to be offering in the ballpark of $500+
