Well, Actually I thought the reason for clipping a book's dustjacket was
when the book has not been selling and the book seller wants to send
a part of the book back to the publisher to get some sort of percentage
rebate.......the publisher gives a percentage rebate for the book not
selling.
And then the book seller still has the clipped book to sell at his
discretion..
if he can.
Maybe I'm wrong but that;'s what I always thought.
