Where can I find dust jackets?
Answer
Selected dust jackets were retained from 1919 to 1991, no dust jackets were retained in 1992. Dust jackets from hardback fiction received through legal deposit (novels published in the United Kingdom and Ireland) have been retained from 1993 onwards. Most are stored separately from the item they relate to and are stored at Boston Spa.
From January 2019 dustjackets for hardback fiction received via legal deposit have been retained with the books.
Please contact Humanities or Rare Books & Music Reference Enquiry Teams with any enquiries about dust jackets in the first instance.
