Well. In popular. You can always request for them to remove the plastic cover for you to browse through the book. It's a tad disturbing, but it's how they usually take care of the books.

Meanwhile the books in Borders, esp the ones in Queensbay, gosh. After much handling from the public, at times I don't even wana buy the books. It's in bad shape and some has creases on the spine and even dog ears.

Sigh. Wouldn't want my new book to be in that condition.

Well, I can see borders doing some changes. They wrapped most of the books, leaving a few (2-3 books) unwrapped for the public to browse through. Guess that's good. =)
