I have some 50 VRS publications, the most recent a 1982. It and about 16
before that date are in a dark linen cover gold lettering. No dust jacket.
The older ones are grey and do not appear to have any traces of dust jackets.
As I have only sort of inherited these I can't really say what they looked
like originally. But to judge from other Africana I have, all have well
used dust jackets I would say the VRS did not.
