I have been asked by other ABE sellers to supply colour copies of rare
dustwrappers in my possession but have always refused. There is something a little bit unhealthy about the uncontrollable flooding of once-rare dw artwork into the marketplace, especially given the propensity for fraud. Besides, it undermines the integrity of a true original and is a poke in the eye for the collector who managed to track a great rariety down. I do have colour copies in my own collection. My view is that it is reasonable for a dealer to pass on a colour copy along with an original book, or as a swap with another collector for a similar item. Other than that, I like to see dw artwork as nature intended, or else in a decent reference book. I don't much care for sellers who's one business aim is to raid the inernet for free images that they can print off and sell.

What, the rest of us aren't worthy to know what the original dust jacket looked like? This makes no sense. There would be no market for books about art, much less museum reproductions, if everyone felt this way. --Helen |

I dislike the marketplace place being flooded with phony dw photocopies. No one is going to try to pass off a fake Matisse xerox as real, but people do try to pass off fake dws as real. Plus it IS a kick in the eye for a collector to see his valuable dw tumble in value because some dealer decides to sell xerox copies to everyone who wants one for their jacketless copy. Exclusivity of the orginal has been lost. For those who can't afford originals, I agree, reference books are the next best thing. |
