I've worked in both libraries and bookstores. Some bookstores put mylar covers on all their hardcovers, or all worth over X, or whatever they decide. Having a mylar cover does NOT mean it was from a library. Besides, some libraries have books shipped uncovered, and put on mylar covers as part of processing, to make spine labeling easier.
So it could be either a bookstore or library person who leaked. Or both; it seems like it might have been multiple.
I am pissed about this myself. I don't want spoilers, and I certainly think heads should roll for putting it online. Even once it's released, that is clear violation of copyright.
