Book Jacket

How do you read a book in public space on your country?



Like that?


How about us?

Japanese people are apt to care what other people think.

That's why we usually use "Book Jacket".

Those pictures below are the Japanese bookstore system.

Basically, when you buy a book (not magazine), it has been covered with a paper which is at the center of the above picture.

Blue one is "book cover". Black small one has been printed a recommendation letter from someone who is famous.

That's enough actually but we are careful about privacy...

At the casher, store clerk says "do you need a book jacket?"

"Yes!" We say.
