Also looking – this has been a request since I gave photo books as Xmas gifts!

Thanks for any suggestions… 

What’s underneath the jacket book cover? They don’t show any pictures of it.

Most Antiquarian booksellers carry and sell protective clear plastic covers for their collectable books. The brand name that comes to mind is Brodart, but I’m sure there are others as well. They come in many sizes and prices and are very easy to place on your books.

Another way of protecting the dust jacket is to have a book binder make a custom slip case- that’s maybe more than most people want to spend, but I’ve found that the price on a slip cased hard cover book can go much higher because of the percieved higher value/quality  due to this kind of presentation. It pays for itself and then some. And book binders are not as hard to find as one migh think….....

If you come across any ads or spam on the Forums, give us a holler at “forums at blurb dot com,” and we’ll get rid of it.

Your post is obviously an advert, so not allowed. You have posted this more than once in the forums which means it is also spam, which is not allowed.

Hello

Does anyone have any feedback on the two sites suggested on this forum (Care4Books and Brodart)?  In particular, which specific product is best to use?  I am based in Hong Kong so not able to go into the shops and have a look at the various protectors avaiable.  Any recommendations much appreciated.  It’s difficult to make a decision based on the websites.

Judith.

I haven’t even published my first book yet, but I already want an extra dust cover!  Am I the only one?
