When did books start having paper dust covers?

Asked by josie (30934points) August 13th, 2017 from iPhone

On those occasions I buy or receive as a gift a hard bound book it invariably has a paper “wrapper” with colors and pictures designed to sell the book
I assume it was not always so
When did that start?
