Book covers

When Japanese buy a book, they always get a book cover together with it. One reason is to keep it clean, and the other, a much more important reason is privacy. If they read a book on a train without a book cover, I think they almost feel like being naked.

Another similar thing they use is black covers for mobile phone screens so that it's impossible to see what's on the screen over somebody's shoulder.

This is my first book with the book cover. "Random walk" is the name of the bookshop where I bought it. And I won't reveal the title of the book :)

To sem pa tut jst razmišljala, kako skrit knjigo pred radovednimi pogledi, ravno pred kratkim na letalu, na poti domov :)

Jaz sem bila na zacetku presenecena in nikakor nisem mogla razumeti, zakaj uporabljajo te book coverje. Ampak ko sem ga imela pa jaz in niso vsi videli kaj berem, je bilo pa prav ok.

Od kje pa si se vracala z letalom pred kratkim? Sori, firbec :)

Vračala sem se pa iz New Yorka, kjer sva preživela božične praznike.
