A Word About the Dust Jackets I've Collected. As a lifelong lover of old books and beautiful images, it seems only natural that dust jackets should end up being such an enriching part of owning a book and one I'd feel like sharing. The Victorian era and the Early Twentieth Century have always been of strong interest to me. Some very beautiful books were printed during that time—many with gorgeous illustrations. As you peruse these pages, you will see a number of first edition dust jackets, many examples of well-known authors and artists, and also some you may not recognize—who were very popular in their time, but are less well-remembered today. You will also see many reprint dust jackets. All of them—first editions and reprints, obscure and famous alike—wonderful examples (I think) of the veneer of graceful beauty and stylish imagery that characterized much of popular culture in the Victorian era and the early twentieth century. I have sought out what I felt evoked the beauty, the elegance, the class, the mystery, and sometimes the slightly sensational aspects of these decades. It is my hope that the website will become a fun and informative resource for collectors. Please enjoy! If you are looking for something very specific, and don't see it on these pages, please consider checking out my Links page or contacting me. I may know how to help you to find what you are looking for.
At
present, I am no longer creating and selling facsimile dust
jackets. I apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience
this may cause. The books and dust jackets are also rare enough that the demand for facsimiles was also understandably rare, leading to a lot of wasting of paper and ink at times (to keep the printer printing at optimum levels) and consequently too much expense for the exceedingly low rates I was charging. So regretfully, for both practical and personal reasons, I've decided I need to commit to spending my alottment of time and energies elsewhere. Thank you to all those who supported me over the years! I have enjoyed working with you! I hope people will still enjoy visiting the website as a pleasurable and educational resource. I apologize for any inconsistencies on the website while I'm working to update it with these changes. --Kandice McCallum, Lady Bluestocking |
