I was wondering if anyone knew which year that Sampson & Low switched over from the Charles & Henry Brock dustjackets to the J. Morton Sale dustjackets.
I would assume that it would have been in the late 1950s, or perhaps even the 1960s, as the Sampson & Low "New Impressions" of 1951 all had the Brock jacket illustrations.
Does someone have a tally of which titles were issued by Sampson & Low with J. Morton Sale dustjackets. According to the list I have compiled, I have noted 19 of them including the following:
Another Day
Black Bartlemy's Treasure
Charmian, Lady Vibart

Definite Object, The
