Aftermarket Slipcases & Traycases
This thread should be focused on anything to do with aftermarket slipcases. To kick things off, there's some interest to have custom cases made by Jeff Whiley for the Doubleday books. We can discuss here.
I'm copying this below as it's relevant:

How much does one of his slipcases cost when you factor in shipping to the USA? Any guesses?
Also does he already have a few premade plates? I wouldn't mind getting some cases for my none SK books also.
The last time I ordered, it was 6 cases and postage was £18.25 to the USA. So if you figure £13 for the slipcase, plus postage divided between the 6, that's £16 each, so around $24 which is pretty good in my opinion. I'd recommend emailing him directly with any other questions you have. I know he has the standard "Stephen King" plates. Here's what I recently had done. Just scroll down a little.

Here are some more examples of plates he has already:
"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
Really nice... love 'em...

I am looking for slipcases to protect ALL of my signed books! I don't need anything fancy, but I am pretty sure we could get enough people to order a slipcase for IT!
Can you provide Jeff with measurements for the next five or ten books? The Viking books? I love my Doubleday series.
The cases shown above are all examples of existing plates that Jeff already has. This means you can order ANY size case direct from him and have one of these embossed on the side. I would point out that NONE of the standard blocks have anything on the spine.
IT is an interesting one, CD's case for the limited is pretty awesome, so it would have to compete with that. It has sparked some ideas in my head though...

OK - lets get the ball rolling on this....
I have 3 separate slipcase projects I am intending to pursue with Jeff.
1. A slipcase for Dolan's Cadillac S/L (I already have Merlin1958 signed up for one of these)
2. A slipcase to hold all the Castle Rock Newsletters (This has not been mentioned before - anyone else interested?)
3. A set of DoubleDay slipcases. (This one has the most feedback)
For (1) I intend it to be just a stamp on the front (Nothing on the spine as the book already has the spine info). I'd like it to be a picture of the car with "DOLAN'S CADILLAC" above it
Obviously the picture would be far less detailed as it will be just the basic car outline block filled.
For(2) I intend it to be just a stamp on the spine (Nothing on the front) This will be the Castle Rock logo printed vertically and something like "The Stephen King Newsletter Vol 1 - 5"
Now for (3) I am open to suggestions. I'd like something that ties the books together but I cant decide whether the slipcases would be facing in or out on my shelf... I'd also like to have the Book name done in the original font but that's going to mean 1 plate per book (as opposed to something like "Stephen King - The DoubleDay Years" which could be used for all 5 (or even 6 books if you include Pet Semetary)
What does everyone else think - I'd love to see some ideas. Something like these (although slipcase rather than traycase) would be really cool...

Hi Simon,
So I'm excited that this is finally getting started after much discussion.
Here's my thoughts:
- Dolan's Cadillac: Although I don't have a copy, I'm in for this one because when I do eventually get one, I'll have the slipcase.
- Castle Rock Newsletters: Yes for sure! I have a complete set and would love a slipcase for them. And I like how you've described it exactly.
- Doubleday years: I'm obviously in with this one because this is what started the discussion originally. Personally, mine will face out, so I don't mind if there's any printing on the spine or not. Although I'd prefer it on the spine as well like in those example images you posted. I also feel we definitely need each book name on the front in the original font. If we're doing this, let's do it right. If we get enough people to 'buy in', the costs won't be too high.
I am happy to help with logistics, like maybe keep track of a list of who is interested in what? Let me know.
I'm also in for all of these...
I don't own these books but i'm going to

Oh yeah! I love it. Did you just design that up? If so, you're in the wrong profession! But I'm sure the one you're in pays more!
yeah just knocked it up. (Getting the shining font right was a bitch)
I'll do the others over the next day or so - it will give everyone an idea of how they will look stacked together.
