dust jacket
Hardcover's paper cover
A dust jacket is the removable paper cover that wraps around a hardcover book, protecting the binding while displaying the title, author, and promotional material.
The flaps typically fold inside the covers and contain author biographies or plot summaries.
First editions with intact dust jackets often command higher prices among collectors.
