That's the fun thing about having some sizing variation in the cases AND the books... Some of the current cases fit books with Brodart covers perfectly. You just need one of the slightly bigger cases
and one of the slightly smaller books.
The case maker has finished measuring all of the cases I shipped back, and it sounds like about 200 of those cases are now headed back my way. These should at least fit the original specs of the job (my book with a Brodart cover), and any that had the little flap problem have been fixed.
These should fit a good percentage of the books, but trying to figure out from a distance if the case will work for one customer's book or another's book is a fool's errand given what we've learned about the books.
So, what I'll do is fill the rest of the orders and include a note that says, "Hey, it turns out there are some variations, if this doesn't fit your book, don't panic! Please just contact me and I'll send you the slightly larger case I'm having made, free of charge. Sorry about the inconvenience!" Or something like that.
Those new, slightly larger cases are rolling into production this week, but the case makers are now REALLY far behind schedule due to supply chain problems. The best I can get out of them is "hopefully 12 weeks."
But, whatever it comes to, I will get everyone a case that fits their book!
Best,
Brian
