It has been printed with archival inks on acid-free 120GSM paper. This facsimile dust jacket has "Facsimile Dust Jacket" tastefully printed on the rear jacket panel and has the monogram of "JAM" at the bottom of the rear jacket panel. Additionally, this dust jacket has a signature in pencil by the artist (known world-wide for his exquisite and highly detailed miniature etchings and engravings) on the VERSO of the jacket for those of you now collecting the jackets only for the art, as many are now framing these separately from the book.

These are made one by one by hand with great care. They will NEVER be mass produced, and are made for reader and collector alike. I have received many positive comments about my work in making and printing these facsimile jackets. Here is one of them: "John's unique artistry was evident as soon as I saw The Great Gatsby dust jacket. Having seen scores of facsimile jackets, John's work is in a completely different league. The rich tonal quality of the colors is breathtaking and the weight of the paper is carefully considered. He satisfied the needs of the most demanding client, even during a personally trying time. I look forward to doing continued business with him in the future and give him my highest recommendation."
