  3. All right...I am still trying to figure out the problem of Picture Cover editions wrapped in dustjackets!!! Any thoughts on this?? I have two of them. The Cowboy Mystery, and Lucky Coins. The back of the book cover is a repetition of the usual Hollister information found on dustjacket backs, except it has a YELLOW background..... and the books do not say FIRST EDITION....... WTF? (Why This Format?)

    1. Picture cover editions wrapped in dust jacket are simply a mistake by the publisher, or a collector did that for some reason. As an example, I have an extra dj for Haunted House Mystery, with nothing to do with it, I wrapped it around my pc edition of Haunted House. Now the yellow colored back format is just what some of those pcs look like. My pcs of volume 1 and River Trip have NO illustration or printing on the back. They are just blank. After Lucky Coins the rest of the pc editions have a list of titles instead of the Meet the HH family that you mention. So some of these problems are publisher decisions respectively. But a dj wrapped around a pc edition is again either an error on the part of the publisher or if you got it from a private sale (antique store, bookstore) is the result of some collector doing what I did for Haunted House.
