Sender: Rare Books and Special Collections Forum <EXLIBRIS@RUTVM1.BITNET>
We hold about 50,000 volumes of C20 Anglo-Irish and American literature
in Special Collections. The majority of titles issued in dustjackets
still have them. But we do not have access to the jackets via designer,
image, date, or other desirable keys. You're welcome to come browse!
Two collections that might be of particular interest: a Proletarian
literature collection in remarkably fine conditon which centers in the
1930s but extends to the 1960s; and the archive of London publisher
Andre Deutsch. The later publicity files of this archive, in particular,
quite often contain a wad of dustjackets. We have access only by
author and title at this time, but as organization of the collection is
refined, we intend to leave only one or two jackets in the principal
file but see if perhaps the additional can be organized into one (or
several) small collections of interest. Deutsch published about 2000
titles between 1950 and 1988.
