I'd bet that stores toss opened/returned boxes and only send in the UPC or

shipping on something that isn't going to be used in a constructive way
(from TLG's point of view).

"If you bought this book without a cover, please be aware that sale of
this book may have been unauthorized. Neither the publisher nor the
writer have gotten any money from it"

I mean, really. Pirating Microshaft software is one thing, but books
from authors you enkoy reading? (and if you don't enjoy reading them..
well.. no comment)
