    A simple slipcase made by Jeff, for the anthology 'Bound For Evil - Curios Tales of Books Gone Bad'.

    Next one is a replacement case for Robert Bloch's 'Strange Eons'. Have also ordered a replacement dustjacket for this book - the spine of the jacket is faded, though the book itself is in mint condition. You can see what sunlight will do to books and cases, in the last photo.

    Thanks Antoni. I have an Arkham House Bloch book on its way to me, that I think you'll like.

    Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows someone that makes custom slipcases with re-purposed wood? I could hunt around for a carpenter locally but I thought I would try here first. Thanks

    Check out Dolso. Not sure if he uses repurposed wood but it's is surely within his capability.

    Soon - I'm (as usual) the roadblock on this. Not much spare time in my day right now, but I hope to get the finished designs to Jeff by the end of the week.
    "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

    Actually I think this is strong enough to replace Option B....
    That definitely got my vote! Wow.

    All carpentry is repurposed wood... At first it was a tree, now it's a book holder!

    Off topic a bit (as it's about slipcases, but not for SK books!) can anyone recommend a good person to design some slipcases for my Neil Gaiman collection that I could get made? All ideas welcome!

    Yeah, I've been talking to Jeff, he makes, but doesn't design.

    Unless I have the wrong Jeff!!

    Usually Simon or I design the cases or just the person requesting it designs it and sends them over to Jeff for plate creation.

    EDIT: I would recommend a generic plate for Gaiman unless you are will to pay for individual plates for each.

    I had thought about the number of plates and cost, but it might be a cost I could live with and maybe Jeff/ others could use after.

    Do you use a specific template/programme to design on? I think that's where my expertise fails.. I know what I want but not how to deliver in a usable format!

    If you have an image that you like I usually just put it through a program that turns it into a vector image (allows for scaling and a standard flat image in 2 colors). After it's done in there out put to PDF at a 1 to 1 scale and send to Jeff for plate creation.

    Hi all, update time on IT!

    Firstly apologies to all as I have been the cause of delays on this, mainly due to work commitments, however things are in full swing now.

    Jeff has all the artwork and we have been through the process of confirming sizing and alignment (always fun, but it HAS to be mm perfect). Here are some of the test shots for placement of the UK version:





    Regarding the US ,version I decided to put a box around the image as requested by a member here. I think it finishes it off quite well.



    The plates should be made sometime next week, please DONT bother Jeff with orders until we have checked the prototypes!

    Also... Jeff has a new slipcase covering that is actual leather, I have seen some examples and it looks great!, it's a little more expensive, but i'm sure you will agree its worthwhile. Previous slipcase materials will still be available however.

    i will update this thread when the slipcases are available.

    Looking good, Simon. I agree, the box really finishes off the US edition well.
