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.- 2002-04-21
