I prefer Borders method of providing browsing copy too. Have seen too many bad browsing habit (err, saliva-slicked fingers anyone?), I definitely will not buy any unwrapped copy unless if I really, REALLY have no other choice.

This is what I wanted to ask you guys. If let's say you are interested in a particular book but all the wrapped copy has been snapped up by others, will you still go for the unwrapped copy, assuming the copy is not in a very nice condition?
Well, ppl always say 'don't judge a book by it's cover'. Same as don't judge a person by their dressing.  biggrin.gif

I'll place an order and wait happy.gif Do not like my books in bad conditions.

Well I find Popular lacking in terms of book choices, and well I really prefer wrapped books.

Oh... I usually only read the first 10 pages in bookstores, if I like it I'll buy and read at home. There were times when I will try looking for online copies or do some research on the books I wanted to buy before heading to bookstore. Somehow I always feel that it's not nice to just read a book and not buy it blush.gif
