Hardbacks without jackets nearly always look the same, and not particularly attractive. The cover is a vital part of the package and provides the flavor. Even if it didn't destroy the value, I'd keep them anyway.

But, hey, whatever floats your boat. At least you own books, which is more than most people!

Protect your books' resale value... go to Brodart now.

Book cover protection saves your library time and money by extending the shelf life of your books, and significantly reducing the need for future repair or replacement. Brodart, the company that originated book jacket covers, offers a complete selection of book cover protection, with the widest variety of sizes and features available anywhere.

Example: 1997 First Edition of Cold Mountain in pristine condition with pristine dust jacket for sale online - Asking Price: $850. 1997 First Edition Cold Mountain fine condition with slightly worn dust jacket - Asking Price: $175
These covers can be put on without pasting down on the book or the cover itself. Libraries do this so the covers won't get misplaced and to discourage theft, but you don't have to tape the covers down on your books. These covers work perfectly without altering the book or the jacket in any way. I have been using these for decades, and recommend them highly.
