I used to work for a Borders, so I'll just comment that the whole idea of a MM paperback being "pulped" is a bit of a dream. What we actually did was strip the covers and throw the books in the dumpster (because there was no good paper recycling in our area.)
Mind you, this was the same dumpster being used by the restaurant next door, so the phrase "turned to goo" isn't too far off. But this is why paperbacks have that little notice about "if you purchased this book without a cover..." printed on the copyright page.
