I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And A̶n̶ ̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶f̶a̶s̶h̶i̶o̶n̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶

Those are the Malory Towers dust wrappers I prefer, and I'm trying (not very successfully!) to get the full set. For some reason, 'In the Fifth' in this jacket is fairly common - I already have it in very good condition - but the others are less easy to find!
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Here's the First Term in this style but it's the only one I've seen, as you say they don't appear much. Pity as they're quite a bit nicer than the other ones which typically are much easier to come by. This one looks in good condition apart from a little bit on the back.

Thanks IceMaiden...unfortunately (or fortunately for me!) I already have First Term in this dust wrapper - in fact its the only other one I have in a dust wraper. I have Fifth term and First Term. The others seem almost impossible to find!

I managed to collect all of the old hardbacks but I only have First Term with a dust wrapper.

I have them all too, but just the second and third with dust wrappers.
