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

168 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?

Book jackets are full colour to look visually appealing. Printing on a paper dust jacket is cheaper and a lot easier than doing it on the hard cover.
