Throughout the site,
Clicking on Underlined Names will lead to pictorial
examples of that artist or author's works. On Gallery
Pages you will find examples of dust jackets and links to
photographic examples of the covers and illustrations of many of
the books themselves, as well as synopses and biographical
data—and in some cases—examples of their writings.
Upcoming Changes: (Updated Feb. 18, 2008) I have just opened a store on blujay. I plan to begin listing all of my completed dust jacket facsimiles on that site as well as vintage books I've collected. This will include a shopping cart for quick and easy purchase. It may take me a while and there may be some inconsistencies on the individual dust jacket pages here on my site as I do this. For the present I will be dropping the multiples discount while I make these updates. I apologize in advance for any confusion this may cause. Please take a moment to click on and read the “Prices/Shipping” Link. Click Here to Visit My new store at: http://ladybluestocking.blujay.com (More Links Below and “A Word About the Dust Jackets I've Chosen”) *ALERT: Recently I tried to open an new email account with Google and discovered that almost every variation of my business name, Lady Bluestocking, had been taken. I was quite disappointed that someone had gone to so much effort to co-opt the name on Google. Please be sure to make your initial contact with me through my website to be sure that you are really contacting the Lady Bluestocking related to dust jackets and books. Thank you. Kandice at Lady Bluestocking.

A Word About the Dust Jackets I've Worked On So Far 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, as well as a place where books can be reunited with their artistic counterparts. In a very real sense, I am sharing my own collection with you. 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. --Kandice McCallum, Lady Bluestocking |
