Why do hardback editions of books come with an extra “wrap around ” cover?

172 views

It has been very annoying , the actual cover art is printed on this loose paper that wraps around the book while the inside hard cover is left blank. Is there any purpose to this instead of just printing everything directly on the hard back cover material?

Everyone’s commenting that it’s for collectors but nobody is answering what sort of monster decided that books needed a cheap plastic dust jacket in the first place, or at least one that they print the fun stuff on while neglecting the actual book itself
