Jackets for fiction titles are present (approximately 2000 examples), represented most strongly in the form of genre series such as Crime Club and similar titles. The jackets were removed from books intended for general library circulation with the dust jackets stored. Thus, the condition is generally very good and unfaded with just minor edge tears and folding in most cases. There is much duplication within titles, but the group constitutes an interesting survey of graphic design and jacket art.
