This is super neat!! I had no idea.

But I have a dark confession to make (please don't cancel me)...I can't stand dust jackets. I don't hate them so much that I get rid of them if a book has one (except on some children's books, because they inevitably get destroyed). But I do go out of my way to buy paperbacks or books with no-jacket covers. (My favorite are textbook-style covers.) 😱

I discovered these far too late in my acquisition

of vinyl records and it cost me thousands on eBay In my early Retirement ! πŸ‘»πŸ‘»πŸ‘»πŸ‘»πŸ‘»

Great concept for books πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ it brings visions of the β€œTime Machine β€œ where all books have basically disintegrated- self destruction…..πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

Save our souls in words - electronics can be easily erased!

Only you could make dust jackets interesting. I've given up reading hardcover books in favor of electronic books, easier to hold.

This is fascinating! The designs are fun to look at, and it would be so interesting to read the blurbs and plot summaries to see how publishers of the past marketed their books.

The dust jacket art is beautiful!

Amazing product! Who would have ever imagined? I typically but used books, many without covers. Most of them end up at some Goodwill - with/without those jackets. OTOH, you really must care a lot given the jacket cost.
