How do the econo folds work? I looks like it literally lays on top or that you have to stick it to the jacket.
I do this. Bottom of dust jacket in the added flap. Take top and fold snug to the top of jacket. Use the folding tool to help. There might be a video on their site but it is super easy. Doesn't protect inside of jacket but they work great for CD slipcases. Never buy this type of wrap with adhesive tabs.

Brodart 15% off sale now through 10/4.
Promo code: WEB15
I've run out of my Brodart covers and want to try the type that doesn't have paper backing. Does anyone have suggestions on the best brand to use? I've found some at Demco, Kapco & Gaylord but it doesn't look like Brodart carries them. Thoughts?
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.

You mean these? If you scroll down they have individual ones. I usually buy the 12" high ones for CD books

Apologies if this is already covered on this thread, but I couldn't see it...
Where can I get those archival sleeves / bags for paperbacks and ARCs? If there's no equivalent product in Australia, I'll import them.
If there is a comic shop near you they might have them.
You want Mylar or polyester Bags. Mylar is a stronger variant of polyester.
They usually come in 2 mil and 4 mil thicknesses. 2 Mil is fine for most books.
I wouldn't bother with self sealing bags. It's easier to just fold them over and tape them.
There are several suppliers depending on what you want and how many you want.

Awesome Br!an, just found a local seller. Thank you
Awesome! The force is strong in you.
Is it a comic store or did you find it online?

Comic store that has an online presence, but I think I'll wander in on the weekend. Thanks again
No problem.Comic store that has an online presence, but I think I'll wander in on the weekend. Thanks again
I bag almost everything. Just be sure it isn't too humid when you bag the books. Living in Florida I know humid. I always run the A/C awhile before bagging books.

Hello peripheral - if you're still looking for bags, these guys have a few options: http://www.bookcoverco.com.au/polybags.html
They're good for general book covering supplies, but I don't use their dust jacket protection - way too thick. I stick with Brodart.

Awesome Lincoln, these guys are literally a few kms away from me. Can I ask where you source brodart in Melbourne?Comic store that has an online presence, but I think I'll wander in on the weekend. Thanks again

I order it from the US, via eBay.
Have found one bookshop, in Malvern, that sells them, but they charge $2 per cover. I'll look up the ebay seller, and pass on their name if you like?
Thanks for the welcome, will drop into the Introduce Yourself thread, later.
Lincoln.
Cheers mate!
Here you go, peripheral - http://stores.ebay.com.au/John-Balls...=p4634.c0.m322
Awesome, thanks. I was using protective covering from a distributor in Knox City, but they do not have the complete pocket style (i.e., the inside paper wrap). I will have a look at these guys. Cheers again
No worries, mate. Just make sure you add about 25mm/1 inch to the height of the dustjacket when ordering - don't try and order an exact fit.Awesome, thanks.

I've been covering new books today and a lot of times the excess on the flaps, especially smaller books keeps them from closing. I am not good with getting a straight line with scissors. Then I thought of my stamp mount cutter and yes! It cuts a perfectly straight edge in one fell chop. This cutter only goes to 8.5 inches, but flipping the regular size dj's works and they do make bigger mount cutters. May have to look into one.
Question.
Purchased the Black House S/L and the sticker at the bottom left residue on the leather. Lightly tried goo gone.....nothing. Should I try black leather polish?

Yeah, much easier than scissors. I bought a cheap paper guillotine from 'Officeworks'. Will cut common sized covers in one go.I've been covering new books today and a lot of times the excess on the flaps, especially smaller books keeps them from closing.
