Dustjacket (front detail) of 'Poems to Hold or Let Go', hand-set in wood type and Garamond and printed in metallic ink on Wibalin book paper.
My friend, Dick Alexander, is writing yet another book, and needed a photo for the dustjacket for the "About the author" section. I spent some time shooting him at his farm this afternoon. This shot is one of my favorites. Hopefully, he'll like it ,too. Blogged, too at randomphoto.blogspot.com/
1st ed. 1968, Cassell, London. Jacket design Brian Roll.
A curiosity is that the title on the dustjacket is entirely in lower case, while the interior title page has it entirely in capitals.
The dustjacket spine of my copy has been sunbleached to a pale green.
A Colonel Russell Political Thriller.
All but three of my Wolfe hardbacks are without dustjackets. Of the three with, this is my absolute favorite cover. I'll have to dig it back out to see if it is a 1st ed or a 1st bookclub ed, since this cover was used on both.

I find it impossible to fathom how two people who say that they are book lovers can, so guilelessly, then say that well, they don't actually *read* the books they love so much, they just rip them to bits and create notebooks, photo albums and bookmarks out of them. The last time I checked, a "book" was not merely a cover, an object to be "used" by "designers". I'm going to ask them what they do with well you know, the part you READ???

London: Penguin/F. Warne, [1995]. Hardback with pictorial boards and dustjacket and decorated endpapers. 59 pages. Condition: Very Good.
When Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she had little idea how popular this story and the twenty-two that followed it would immediately become. No other animal stories have so captivated the imagination of children and adults alike. Today the Tales are bestsellers all over the world, translated into many foreign languages. Frederick Warne uses the most advanced technolgoy to reproduce the original pictures eith a freshnes and degree of authenticity unattainable until recently.
These little books should be among the first owned by any child and their appeal is still as strong as when the first story was published.

three pounds in a charity shop bought me
**a hardback copy of "The World's Wife" by Carol Ann Duffy - in perfect condition with protective cellophane over the dustjacket. i've now, of course, scrawled all over the pages. [£1.50]
**some pop buttons, always very useful. (they were a complete set; i used some in making some lace collars, pictures of which i will upload later) [50p]
**a fabulous leather belt which sits nicely on my waist. the only thing i find annoying is that it's Levis, and they have therefore felt the need to stamp their great big logo on the leather. but the buckle was so gorgeous that i couldn't resist. [£1]

An iconic illustartion from book designer and artist Brian Cook.
Lose yourself in the rolling hills based loosely on the headlands of Great and Little Hangman, North Devon. It featured on the dust jacket of the 1933 book 'Landscapes of England' by Charles Bradley Ford but was also exhibited at the Arts Council Exhibition 'Landscapes in Britain 1850-1950' at the Hayward Gallery in 1983.
A recent (2022) puzzle in as-new condition, and thankfully complete.
I do like these Brian Cook illustrations - I own a 1948 copy of 'The Cathedrals of England' with illustrations by Cook and with a similar dust jacket, so this appealed enormously.
