Sorry to but in here but @johannawinant.bsky.social I have been wondering about/looking into this history extensively from a labor perspective, as I currently teach in Harvard’s writing program and am on the bargaining committee of the new Harvard NTT union. Would *love* to join such a convo.

I refuse to believe that a dust jacket is an insurmountable expense for a UP or major European academic publishing house. What customer will pay $100 for a volume who wouldn’t pay $115+ for one with a plain cover and dust jacket? /3
