A faculty friend from the University of Cincinnati sent me the following note. We do not have the dust jacket he mentions. Is there anyone out there who can help him? Please do respond to the list, especially if you are addressing the issue of dust jackets in collections.

I am looking for the paper jacket to Omanut ha-Yehudit, ed. Z. Ephron and C. Roth (Tel Aviv: Masadah, 1956/57). I need a scan of the front cover. If anyone has it, I would most appreciate your help. I am using the design of this jacket as a historical source to explain the ideological underpinnings of Jewish Art scholarship at mid-century. A broader question: does any library systematically collect Jewish book jackets? They really are an important and overlooked, historical source worth preserving.
