  Ah, yes  the covers may be the same ,but these brightly colored covers have
 very weak  spines.  A mylar covered jacket may be the only thing between
that new book and
an early brush with renforcing tape.  I learned , the hard way , now all the
books that come
with jackets wear them.  And in a few years when the jackets are torn and
scuffed , they
will be retired and the brightly colored covers will again have their chance
to shine.
