They have a plastic convering over the paper made to bound the book so the grease from our hands coat the book thereby making it slimy - Yes, alright, but contemporary paperbacks are slimy and chemical-coated to begin with. They hardly need to slop goop on the outside of the cover to bind the book. The opposite is the case: the book coats the reader's hands with it's exterior shiny crapola - bloody nuisance.
