    would this safely take an old sticker off say, a Science Fiction and Fantasy book? Also I have seen in comments that it has a strong smell - does that last?
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    What size Brodart covers do you buy that would be good for “most” books? I look on their site and there are many options. I bought from them before but don’t recall what size I bought. What would you guys recommend?

    Thanks Garrell. I just went with an order of single sheets and an acrylic display stand for my S/L of The Stand. Was not sure I wanted to buy a roll in case it wasn’t what I wanted. Hadn’t bought from Brodart before, but the company I had bought from doesn’t sell them any more so choices seem to be limited.

    Most King books are 9 1/2". Many other books are 10 inches. Then there are larger, and smaller, books.

    The 12" roll will work with the majority of books you will ever need to cover. Of course, if the book is taller than 12" it won't work. That would be rather rare.

    Appreciate all the reply posts, but Brodart sells specific sets of sheets at a certain size that services 90% of the books out there and I just cannot recall (and I believe others here are asking as well) what that specific size specs are. I don't like ordering "sheets" because that involves cutting and what not which I'm not very good at. I recall there was a specific size to order and for the life of me I can't recall that size and dispensed with the Brodart packaging in error. Anyone here recall or order these in the same fashion?

    Bill, I contacted them asking for covers that were 10” high. They came back to me saying to order SKU #10507603. Just received today and have yet to open the box. Once I start putting some on I can let you know.

    I get the just a fold archival sheets - in 5 separate sizes - 8, 9, 10, 12, 14. Its like a bell curve - majority of books are 10", then 9", and the others make up the tails on the curve

    Bill, started putting a few on books last night. These seem to be good for most regular sized books. Easy to get on the jacket and they have 3 tabs of adhesive that attaches to the paper backing of the cover (not the dust jacket) so it stays in place.
