Dust Jackets Part IV

In 1942 Penguin began publishing in the USA. By 1948 the Penguin US effort had stalled and The New American Library of World Literature (NAL) took over. Six of the original Penguin USA titles were later released with dust jackets, some by NAL under the new Signet imprint.

The last post in this series had the third of the six, here is the first.
