	Antiques Roadshow/Antique Speak: Dust Jacket
		Marsha explains that it is a book's only removable part, and is also referred to as a "book jacket" or "dust cover." The paper cover protects a cloth or paperbound book on its journey from publisher to buyer and also protects it from handling by its owner.
		Marsha says that the earliest recorded dust jacket dates from 1832, although surviving examples before the mid-1880s are extremely rare.
		The popularity of dust jackets faded until the 1920s, when they had a resurgence, especially in the United States thanks to an increased interest in the collection of modern first editions.

	Jones on Making Dust Jackets for Books
		If you're lucky, you'll have an original cover that you can photocopy onto the dust jacket for cover art, but by the time a book has reached the point where this kind of copying and rebinding project is worth while, this is unlikely.
		Note that care is needed in folding in the two sides of the dust jacket, crease B in Figure 8.1.
		Polyethylene dust jackets are also compatable with xerographic copies, but they are quite soft and do not provide the same degree of mechanical protection that is offered by hard plastics such as mylar.

		Since these giants of the faith have lent their names to Dr. Piper’s dust jackets, it means that they have read the entire work and found no major Scriptural flaws.
		It is true a few famous theologian-authors have put their names on the dust jackets of some of Dr. Piper’s books, however, certainly not "all" have done so.
		Dust jacket endorsements are not the test of biblical orthodoxy--that test is reserved to be conducted in the light of the Scriptures alone.

		If the jacket is forty years old, but the paper looks fresh, new, and uniform in color, particularly at the edges, you could be looking at a facsimile.

		The reason they're called "dust jackets" is because they are meant to protect the binding from dust.
		I don't view the dust jackets (particularly, as I mentioned, extra-colourful jackets on last-20-or-so-years books that are designed more to catch the attention of a buyer than to enhance the book itself with art or information) as a part of the essence of a book in most cases.
		If you prefer the look of the books minus their jackets, then the only good reason for you to keep them is, as others have said, if you want to consider your books as a collection with a potential resale value rather than as a library solely for reading.

		But for copies with the first state dust jacket, with the exception of one "in tatters," the range was $100 - $350, with the majority of the better looking ones at over $200, and many at over $300.
		I think the usual question is: "When did publishers first sell books in dust jackets?" The circulating library example is a borderline case, the printed jacket is certainly historically important, and could have motivated a publisher, but the books were not (an assumption) purchased by that library in dust jackets.
		Gabriel Zita adds: In the Ken Leach collection of 19th century American books with dust jackets, the earliest was one printed by the American Art Union in 1849, (auctioned at Oinonen in 1990 or earlier) a special issue of one of their albums by Darley (either Rip Van Winkle or the story about Ichabod Crane).
