It also annoys me how their books are covered with plastic but the price tag is INSIDE, not on the plastic, where it would've been easier to get rid of. Boo. :( Argh, I know exactly how you feel.

I hate those stickers too, and try to remove them as soon as I get the books (the longer the stay on the book, the harder they are to take off). It horrifies me, all the time, to see the price tags UNDER the plastic and on the book, instead of ON the plastic where they should be. It's not like you can swap plastics between books, right? The plastic is there for a reason! Another thing I disliked about National and Powerbooks in the book fair was how they kept their books and comics out of their plastic for the duration of the event. A lot of the books and comics got damaged because of careless browsers, when only a sample of each book should have been subjected to the abuse. Their inefficiency with their merchandise is disappointing. Do they not care? Hear, hear!
