I also thank you for the video, although I don't think I'd handle my King djs that way.

Oops! Sorry, Brian.

How about paperbacks? I'd love to have a custom slipcase made for my signed copy of Joyland (along with a few of my other Hard Case Crime signed copies). Anyone here ever had any made or made your own?
Jeff Whiley (jefferyWhiley@ntlworld.com) makes fantastic slipcases for very reasonable prices. (see examples below).
He is UK based so factor in shipping, but he makes to order and can customise based on your requirements.
For Joyland there was a case made for the SC by Cemetery Dance (out of stock, but they show up on eBay occasionally) :
And one available for the HC from Tomas @ StephenKingCollector.com
"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
Thanks man, those look amazing! I bought my copy of Joyland from Betts. I'm not a full time King collector, though I am a fan. I mostly collect the paperbacks from Hard Case, along with any interesting Richard Matheson that I come across.
Brodart 20% off sale through Sunday.
Edit: I made the image clickable.
Simon, can you post an actual link? The website you listed doesn't come up in my google search for some reason.

Ah Ok, Jeff doesn't have a website, all his work is from referrals. - just email him direct at that address and tell him what you need.

Does anyone know how effective Brodart archival book covers are against UV rays and book sunning? Brodart's website says, quote, "The damaging effect of UV rays can be minimized with the application of Brodart Book Jacket Covers." The reason I ask is that I'm thinking about moving my King trade hardcovers bookshelf to a room that gets a fair amount of sunlight (filtered through a bunch of trees). The books would get minimal actual direct sunlight. I'm just not sure how much actual protection the covers provide.
Good question.
Polyester, like the Brodart book cover, actually absorbs UV light.
I have no idea how much. You've sparked my interest and I'll let you know what I find...
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I honestly do not know. But I do this. I have bookcases. The real bookcases where they actually have doors. Some people call bookshelves bookcases, but without the doors they aren't bookcases. I have windows, but the blinds are never opened in the book room. Every jacket is mylar wrapped and the sun never comes in. That is the safest thing to do. Mylar is not a word in lowercase? Weird

Here's what I learned on trial and error. First, I love Brodart. I posted this same information on SKCollector to help someone out. So I buy the wraps as individual cut pieces of like 25 at a time. I store them in a drawer. I learned to wrap my books myself with trial and error on cheap jackets. It is very easy and you can find videos all over the place these days. I buy 1.5 mil super clear econo-fold 25 pieces of the larger sleeves for the larger books. These are just a sheet with a small 2 inch piece of plastic attached to the bottom. The plastic will not cover the back of the jacket, but they work amazing for the tight CD slipcases. They have smaller ones perfect for the PS Publishing smaller limited books too. It was like 8.00 for 25 of them, so that is a steal in my book. But the shipping is UPS so it is high but quick delivery. I like to cover the WHOLE jacket and trim some of the wrap off if necessary as you will never see the scissor lines inside the book. You would only trim the wrap if there is excess wrapping, not the dust jacket.
The other sleeves I love are the larger just-a-fold II. I usually go 1.5 mil super clear 12" high and 24" long and trim if needed. They have the paper attached to the plastic and they have 3 small adhesive tabs. Easier then a hole strip of adhesive. These are for normal books without slipcases and for SKCollector slipcases. They work great. I know it gets costly to buy things like this, but to protect collective books, it is way worth it.
There are videos of how to wrap your books on youtube. I learned myself and got better at it the more I did it. I'd advise to watch a video, practice on a cheap book. The simple plastic sheets are thin, but much easier to use. The paper backing ones are a bit harder to do and timely when the jacket has been on a book for a long time. You simply place the jacket inside the wrap, rub it down flat, gently push it down inside flush to the bottom. I hope I helped.

So it isn't easy to find the information. What I did find is that polyester is the best material to filter UV light. They sometimes will laminate other materials to the polyester when making a UV protective film. They will also add stabilizers to keep the polyester from degrading as it absorbs the UV light. The Brodart cover is polyester and has stabilizers making it one of the best possible book covers.
However you might consider covering the window of the room in a UV resistant film. That would help ensure that your books weren't being harmed.

Two shelves is not a bookcase since there is no case. Two shelves in a cabinet is a bookcase regardless of doors. A bookcase with doors is definitely preferable.
Sorry for the correction, but I am a cabinetmaker.
Mylar is a brand name for PET; a type of polyester film. Kind of like Coke is a brand name for a type of cola.Mylar is not a word in lowercase? Weird
