[ISLMA-Share] To Dust Jacket or Not?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I'm old fashioned, but I still find the blurb on the inside flap of the

titles. (That being said, I pitch the dust jacket for pre-school books,
assuming the same art is printed on the actual book.)
