DUSTJACKETS

  Carl Honore writes: "As usual there are exceptions to many
  rules in the book field.  Where I live in Port Townsend,
  Washington, I saw a set of original first edition Oz books
  published by Reilly and Lee in Chicago each with an asking
  price of $300.00.  None of these had the original dust jacket
  as issued ,  but I have seen several WITH dust jacket priced
  a bit less...depending on condition of the dust jacket of course,
  but one would have expected that a dust Jacket in ANY
  condition would have increased the value of the book
  appreciably .

  This was a popular series as is the Harry Potter Series of
  today.  I tend to think the first edition of Potter is somewhat
  overpriced however like coins or coin books if there are
  collectors then the price will probably be up there."
