Aftermarket Slipcases & Traycases

[Aronstg]

Hey all. I figured I would start this thread. Just got a shipment from Jeff and I picked up the RPO sub press slipcases as well as some long wanted slipcases for my Rothfuss books. Love how they turned out. I figured I would share.

Also I know that Anubis asked about interest in Brandon Sanderson Slipcases, especially some with something on the spine. Count me in for that. I would love to get a slipcase for Way of Kings but would probably want one for all of the Stormlights eventually. I also would like to get one to house the Leather Bound 10th anniversary editions.

I guess a good question though would be is it typical to put leather bound books in a slipcases?

Might have been an idea to name the thread something different to distinguish the cases are non-king :idea:

Well I figured since this is housed in the Other Authors section that it may be implied. I also admit that I may navigate the site differently than others.

Got mine last night - after weeks (months) of tweaking and remeasuring, they fit like a glove.

In addition to Rothfuss, here are the ones I made for the Brown trilogy:

Damn but those look sleek!

[jsmcmullen92]

Assuming there are a few people interested maybe it can have his name on the front and the below symbol on the spine... I think it would look great on the shelf.

Pulling this over here to look at it again. I need to order some cases from Jeff so I figured now would be a good time to look into this and I want some for my Brandon Sanderson collection.

I'll see what I can come up with for him but it will most likely not have anything on both the spine and cover. It would have to be one or the other with how the plates work. Either that or there would have to be a new plate for each book.

Has anyone heard from Jeff recently? I emailed him about an order on the 3rd of this month and haven't heard back. Pretty unusual as he usually replies pretty quickly.

I would just shoot him a follow up. He is usually really prompt so he may have just missed it.

Also check the email address. I've managed to send it to the wrong one before

Thanks, Josh. For some reason his replies to me went into his draft folder. I heard from him this morning and he sent this photo along :)

Using the Cosmere symbol from Arcanum unbounded here is a quick sketch of a spine only case for Brandon Sanderson. this is only a draft. Please feel free to make suggestions and such. I am also going to make a front piece for it to see which one everyone like better.

I spoke to the people that run Sanderson's online store, and they will be offering slipcases for the anniversary books.

Thanks for the info!! That's great!

Were you thinking of doing these designs for each of the Stormlight Archives?

It's just a generic plate that can be made for any book. I used the Cosmere symbol so that it can be used with any Cosmere book.

If you have any other ideas I am open to them. My computer decided to restart last night so I have to start from scratch again if you want to make any changes. Also want to create one for the front as well.

[stroppygoblin]

Keep in mind the size of the plate if you are doing front and side. Jeff has limitations on this.

Separate options. Not doing a front/side combo since the spine of the books will be different. I am looking at doing spine OR front but that's for the reminder :)

[Brian861]

Jeff told me he'll be doing cases for UK Sleeping Beauties and Strange Weather and is seeking ideas and suggestions for both.

[ym2000]

I finally came across a matching limited set of First Law books so had to do all new cases with Jeff - but this time instead of black I opted for maroon color with black font.
Now, can someone PLEASE sell me the LETTERED ones!!

Cool cases!

[Aronstg]

Is anyone interested in getting cases for the Sub Press Red Rising? I would like to get something similar to the Ready Player One cases done for the series.

Great color choices!

You guys still planning to get Red Rising cases? I have been meaning to get cases made for Red Rising and the Broken Earth trilogy.

Personally, I would love some Broken Earth cases!

[scarface]

I know!! I love that series. I have emailed Jeff, I will post an update once I have a few details.

I would like to get one for red rising but I hate a bit of wall. I'm no good with design. I'd like to see something on the spine at least. Like the RPO and Martian cases.

[scarface]

Yeah, I am afraid I am no good with design as well. I have no idea where to start learning how to design one either, maybe someone more experienced in this can point me to the right resources?

[jsmcmullen92]

Someone had PMed me with information on the Red Rising case and wanted me to make one for it. I started but was waiting on a few items (can't remember what anymore) so it stalled out.

If someone has a design or something in mind I can whip up a vector for Jeff to get a plate.

JS.. that was me. I sent you an email with a design in mind but I just assumed you got busy and I didn't want to pester you :) I can send it again if you have some more availability now.

Ha that's right. I think all I need is Font and I can start

I know I have no preference on Font. I'm not good at graphic design.

[Booknutt]

I’m good with fonts and have a ton. Plus I have some design talent. I can’t afford a slipcase for my copy but I’m happy to lend a hand designing something.

That would be awesome. I know JS did a great job with the Martian and RPO ones.. plus the slipcases are really affordable. Can you guys get together and hash something out?

[jsmcmullen92]

the main thing I need (just remembered finally) is the size of the book. What is height, width, and thickness of the book. that will drive the case plate size.

[zachip]

anyone thought about designing slipcase for SST edition of Joe Lansdale Paradise Sky?
i want to contact Jeff about it, but need help with design.

Oh, if you do- please post the info here! Would love one of those. I think that edition is a real under-the-radar gem. Beautiful production.

Does anyone know where I could get a slipcase for the 5 F&SF Gunslinger issues? Something snug but not too tight?

I have a Dolso wood slipcase, not for sale, but you might be able to get one from him.

Hey Simon,

thanks,

Thank you both! I'll certainly contact these great craftspeople if I go the custom-made route. Just wondering if anyone had one made, and could therefore point me to a person who already had measurements or cases available.

[jsmcmullen92]

Ask Simon he may have one already made with measurements. Jeff can make one with an SK stamp on it. Dolso will be made of wood. Both rock just depends on the taste.

I alsway recommend measuring by using either digital calipers or a metal ruler if you have them.

Latest cases from JW. I'll reveal what for once they cross the ocean. Shipping cost from the UK has increased tremendously btw.
