Samples of Completed ProjectsHandcrafted, custom slip-cases built to house and protect your valuable books, manuscripts, maps, family records, photographs, fine art prints, etc.
Cases are constructed of heavy duty, archival quality art and/or book-binder's board, then covered with paper, or cloth, in colors that will complement the items.
A 'thumb-hole' is built, standard, into every slip-case to aid in removing the book from the case -- slip-cases can be constructed without the thumb-hole if so desired.
Prices for slip-cases start at just $40.00 (un-lined); $50.00 (soft-lining), plus shipping.
It is recommended, but not mandatory, that you send the book to us for proper measurement.
To obtain a cost estimate, measurements accurate to 1/2-inch are sufficient.
For actual construction, measurements accurate to within 1/16-inch are necessary.
