Dust jackets (dustwrappers) - not John Buchan. ~
May 2024
Hello everyone
There is something about a dustwrapper which attracts many book collectors. Sometimes it protects the book itself,
even as the wrapper itself becomes creased or worn; sometimes it adds a bit of sparkle to the book; sometimes it
simply looks nice.
Today's list showcases over 60 books with dustwtrappers covering a wide range of subjects - fiction, gardening,
history, military history, motoring, reference books, Egyptology etc. None of the books are by John Buchan (although
a small number are by members of his family) but all are reduced in price.
Kind regaards

Crask Books (formerly SMS Books) was formed out of my John Buchan collecting habit some 15 years
ago. Through a series of unexpected events we became, some 9 years ago, the largest dealers in the
world of books by and about John Buchan and his family. The aim is to keep as wide a range as possible
but, because of the extreme rarity of some of his works we can never have everything that was written by
JB. For full details of all our services, for a current stock list or for any book-related queries you can contact
