GEN: dust jackets - revisit

[Barb Engvall <macbarb@CHARTER.NET>]

There recently has been a brief discussion on the pros and cons of why
to take off dust jackets. Last night as I was re-reading some books
another reason hit me...sometimes there is important information for
the book on the end papers that are obscured by the dust jackets! Case
in point: Diary of a Worm - you miss half of Worm's scrapbook and also
Seaman's Journal where the front end papers is Lewis and Clark's trip
west and the back end papers shows the return trip east. Of course,
there are times when you get a rebound book that these neat features
are totally lost!
