My precious sensibility is definitely hurt and I will make sure I buy the 
hardcover edition of 'The Road' untainted by the sigil of corporate greed. 
Well, publishers put the logo on the cover, it's true, but I don't beleive 
they do it without Oprah's say-so.

And talking about stickers and logos in general, I like the way French 
publishers simply wrap award-winning books in non-adhesive tape saying Prix 
Goncourt or whatever without spoiling books with stickers that quite often 
will come out with the cover.
