Paper book cover, unique style in Japan. But when in Japan, do as the Japanese do!
I'm in a Starbucks, Tokyo right now.
When watching a certain American having a paperback covered in paper of a Japanese bookstore, I couldn't help grinning.
cause, I know this is the very Japanese traditional service at bookstores, called "excessive packaging!"
It was for the first time that I watched foreigner having it.
Waste of resources is not so bad, after all.
You can hide what's going on in your hands.
