A Curious Request--Dustjackets from OP novels

Dear Seelangers,

Here's an unsual request, but one I hope someone can fulfill.  My students
are preparing web projects this semester on prison camp novels.  In the
past, I have used scans of the novel covers in the pages--they help to
identify the text and provide a colorful link to the specific information
on each work.  Problem is, two of the texts the students are reading are
long out of print and I only have library photocopies--which do not
preserve the dustjacket from the original printings.

Would anyone out there have the original dustjackets to these two novels,
and could they (1) mail me the jacket so that I can scan it and return it,
or (2) scan it and send me the image as a .jpg?  These are the novels (and
the jackets need to be from these editions/translations):

Chukovskaya, Lydia.  Going Under.  Trans. Peter M. Weston.  London:  Barrie
& Jenkins, 1972.  ISBN 0214654079

Dovlatov, Sergei.  The Zone.  Trans. Anne Frydman.  New York:  Alfred A.
Knopf, 1985.  ISBN 0394535227

Thanks very much in advance,
