Unusual use of a dust jacket

I just acquired a copy of a self-published conspiracy rant called "The
Great Expose #1" by Annie R Patterson. The inside of the jacket was used by
the author to type a letter to the recipient! To compound the weirdness,
there is also a franking mark and address label on the outside of the
jacket. Furthermore, the franking mark is on that part of the jacket that
is folded inside when it is placed on the book (top-right corner when laid
out flat), so it would seem that the jacket was used as both letter and
envelope. Whether it was part of a package for the book or sent separately
I don't know.

Are there other strange uses of a jacket you have come across?

If anyone knows anything about Mrs Patterson, I would appreciate that, too.

I've known of at least two poets who didn't sign their books, but drew
caricatures of the purchaser.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
