The Words written in my head

Just an interesting observation.  I see many copies of the Last Harry Potter book lately.  In each case the owners have removed the slip case and opted to read it with out that on.  Was the cover so abhorent?  The book's yellow and tan inner cover and thickness is distinctive.  No less that 8 copies seen in my normal daily life on Monday and on Tuesday there was about a dozen.  I only saw 3 on Saturday/Sunday due to the newness of the book and not being out and abouts much.  But all in all considering the limited number of people one crosses paths with it is an impressive showing and telling on how popular the modern-esk fantasy series is.
