I knew someone on the Governor's Library committee and the govenor's wife demanded all book covers come off. When you do that, unfortunately it sometimes tears the original book cover and damages it. Also many renowned illustrators do children's books and thus book covers. Also like another reader said book covers can be valuable I recently won a Harry Potter collector's edition at a library conference and the book cover itself is framable art. I think books organized by subject is a great idea for a small home library. It takes all kinds of organizing depending on the person.
