These are really cool, Anita - but it looks to me like the top one could possibly be the cover. That is, unless my biblio terminology is all out of whack. I thought the dust jacket was the paper 'jacket' on a hardbound book.
To say "I live for your comments" would be only a slight exaggeration. That notwithstanding, comment moderation is in effect to prevent posting of out-of-context links. My apologies to the regulars and the real.
I also just discovered a lovely blog called Nineteenth Century Dust Jackets.

ReplyDeleteHi Dave,
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, my top photo is of a cover (from a recent dump find) and the one under it is a Photoshop manipulation of a detail.
The blog I mention shows cool covers with their jackets.
