How to make MYLAR dust jackets to protect fine and rare books

Very cool! Exactly what I was looking for. I subbed cheers!

I do this for all my fantasy books. Your books don't have to be rare to do this.

Thank for this very well explained video and for your advice !
I was wondering : do you think 80 microns could be fine for dust jacket covering ? Because where I live, 80 microns is the closest to your product I can get, unfortunately.

Where can I find the product you are using?

Perfect! From esoteric to exoteric in under six minutes. Thank you.

Any idea where to get a roll of polyester film like that in the US? Or any amazon links? I don't see that brand listed at all on US amazon, and a lot of the other brands look much more expensive than the one you showed off.

Great video and great information

Thank you!

Thank you so much! It took me so long to find the video I was looking for, you explained the process I was looking for so well thank you!

@UbiquitousBooks, Thank you for the great demo! I have a big heavy book that's 13 inches tall and 3 inches thick. Do you think that 7 mil mylar may be too thick? I've heard from some that 5 mil may not be strong enough for large books, but I want to make sure that I'll be able to fold the mylar. I appreciate any guidance you can provide.

i think you mean 0.3 mm not 3mm

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for! Last year I discovered vintage books on eBay (not for collector value but for reading value) and now have a lovely lot of novels, travel diaries, and WWII social histories published between 1850 and 1950. After finding the cover of one accidentally damaged I want to protect them but also display them so this is perfect.

ty for the video, is there a tutorial on how you made your slipcase cover please

Super
