    DUST JACKETS

    . In response to our earlier discussions of book jackets,
    Steve Pellegrini writes; "Yes, I think it is ridiculous to add or
    detract great amounts of money on the presence or absence
    of a book's dustjacket, most especially on modern, retail
    copies of standard editions.

    For example: I'd recently been looking for a copy of the
    Hibbler-Kappen 'So-called Dollars' book. One offer I
    finally received was for an earlier edition in moderately used
    condition: $60.00 w/o a dustjacket or $90.00 for one with
    jacket. I thought that I just might be able to get by without
    this particular dust jacket. -- This spreading phenomenon
    seems just another example of the market's recent strategy
    of adding qualifiers on top of qualifiers as a means of upping
    the ante on rather common material -- books and coins.
