Does anyone know a company theat custom makes slipcases? I have a few books that need some extra protection. Thanks.

>1 BINDINGSTHATLAST: I was going to recommend someone, but they seem to have gone out of business. I'll be at the local book store tomorrow, and ask them then.

any decent bindery can whip you up boxes to order

I would make a point of wanting archival (acid-free) materials used.

I had the good fortune to get a tour of the inner workings of the Indiana Historical Association and saw their workshop. They did it all, restoration and making their own cases but they did say they farmed out some work. I am sure that your local historical society would be able to recommend someone.

>6 TLCrawford: haha I live in an agricultural community, I am afraid my local historical society, or book binder for that matter, is about 500km away. Of course, if I wanted my slipcases made of grape leaves, I do live in the right spot!

>7 BINDINGSTHATLAST: I was wrong about my supplier (I just needed to use the https in front).

I really recommend these folks for most protective covers (other than for very rare books, and that's a separate issue). I use their bags for my collectible and vintage paperbacks, and it's nice to not have to worry about degradation caused by fumes from cheap plastic.
