: Here's a lesson on what to call stuff. If we all call them the same things, then we will all know what we are holding, and buying. : The piece of paper that wraps around a Hard cover book is the DUST JACKET. : The piece of paper that covers a paper back is it's WRAPPER. : This is important to know if you see someone offering : Wrapper for MIRROR OF DESTINY, by Andre Norton : Wrapper for paper edition POWER LINES, Del Rey : Wrapper for paper edition TIGER BURNING BRIGHT, AvoNova : Wrapper for QUAG KEEP and Wrapper for GARAN THE ETERNAL : or : if you see the notation:ELVENBLOOD: pre Publication in printed wraps. : This is especially important for those few books that have dust jackets out of special material. In general, there are no Andre Norton books that were covered in glassine (heck, I cannot check the spelling), which looks a lot like waxed paper. There is at least one Norton book covered in a dust jacket that is "Wood Veneer from Japan" : PS: Great find on that MAID-AT-ARMS! Irene, Thanks for the lesson I had been getting awfully Confused. I am new to the world of Collectors and am not used to the Lingo. Of Course "Fox" and "Fan" had Jackets. That is What I meant. For "Maid-At-Arms", I had to go down into a very musty dingy poorly-lit cellar in a bookstore in St Louis and dig through a couple of boxes until I found it. What helped was that I had seen it before at Norton's house and knew what it looked like. Also, it was in with about a hundred other books with the same cover format (from the same "Coventry Romance" imprint). As soon as I got into this box, my hopes soared and I persevered until I found it. Paul.
