This response will be a bit terse since I am typing it from memory and don't want to type it all again. :(<br /><br />Ideally, the swap should be disclosed.<br /><br />In this case, I would disclose a swap, since I would want buyers to know that the book swapped book is not water damaged.<br /><br />I would only swap this book with another purple book. Most likely, there was only one purple printing before the format change to blue books, so any purple Portrait in the Sand would likely match. If not, I would mention that.<br /><br />If I can't find a purple book fairly soon, then I will not swap books.<br /><br />I bought some other Dana Girls books with jackets along with this one. I am seeking matches for a couple of books that have stains and some water damage. A few books had jackets that were nicer than my jackets but the books were worse. I swapped books and jackets. Fortunately, both books have the same points. I think these blue and red Dana Girls books and jackets did not go through many printings, since the ones I bought matched up so well with ones that I already had.<br /><br />Around five years ago, I bought a huge lot of around 60 Nancy Drew books with jackets. I placed those jackets on various tweed books. I tried to match them fairly close, but some were off by several years. I did mention that the books and jackets were mismatched.<br /><br />I hope all of that made sense. It is not as good as my first lost comment.Jennifer Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10405593758228423001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157530669780468545.post-86687508332155934612012-07-14T09:16:26.918-05:002012-07-14T09:16:26.918-05:00Knowing some collectors are picky about what title...Knowing some collectors are picky about what titles are on dust jackets as a way to determine age of the book, do you feel the need to tell buyers that the dust jacket did not come with the book? Even if the dust jacket appears to be the exact one the book would have come in, is it required?Timothy O'Herinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441429036386862220noreply@blogger.com
